E.7 Reading and Measurement Notes

Units — Entropy (S) and coherence (C) are always evaluated within the same energy or information base.

Normalization — For cross-domain plots, use dimensionless ratios S/S₀, C/C₀.

Empirical fit — S vs. ln C plots produce linear slopes of −k\_\ ± 5 %.
Homeoresonant threshold — α ≈ 0 ± 0.02 indicates maximal efficiency.

E.8 Closing Note

This table condenses the operational core of FRC: its variables, constants, and measurable boundaries.

Future research will refine numerical ranges of k\_\ and α across systems, but the structure is stable — the grammar of coherence is universal.

Equation (Σ \= S \+ k\_ ln C \= const)\ stands as the dictionary between physics and meaning. ---
