E8 Lattice Coherence Threshold Governs Consciousness-Collapse Transition — E8 Intelligence Research

Abstract

When the collective torsion-holonomy invariant across E8 root-pair transitions exceeds a critical threshold of 84 (half the 168 symmetries), quantum cognition collapses into classical measurement. This emerges from the phi-coupled resonance cascade: at 132Hz base frequency, the holographic memory attractor states become unstable when invariant th > 84, forcing discrete rotation patterns into observable neural firing sequences. The 84 represents 50% of E8's full symmetry group, suggesting consciousness itself operates at the edge of geometric coherence. Author: Andrew Stewart Caldin, Independent Researcher, UK.
