Thermal Coherence Transitions in Water — The φ-Lock Model (v1.0) Part of: The Oxygen Octave Series
Abstract (Index)
This work introduces the Φ-Lock Model, a temperature-dependent extension of the Oxygen Octave framework applied to phase transitions in water.
The model proposes that below a critical thermal threshold, molecular systems transition from disordered motion to a coherent regime characterized by stabilized geometric symmetry. This transition is framed as a dynamic coherence attractor, rather than a sharp thermodynamic phase boundary.
The Φ-Lock formulation provides a minimal, time-dependent description linking thermal noise reduction to the emergence of harmonic order in condensed media.
Within the Oxygen Octave project, this paper serves as the thermal continuity module, bridging molecular resonance, crystallization onset, and coherence dynamics under temperature variation.
Mathematical details, assumptions, and falsifiable predictions are provided in the full Zenodo preprint.
