Qpie Mathematics — Resonance Fields For Coherence: Defensive-Publication Abstract & Introduction, Teddy Burroughs Nov 2025

Qpie Mathematics — Resonance Fields For Coherence: Defensive-Publication Abstract & Introduction, Teddy Burroughs

Defensive Publications Series

QPIE (Quantum Perspective Is Everything) extends the Streltsov–Singh–Dhar–Bera–Adesso (2015) program that operationally links quantum coherence and entanglement by introducing a triadic, time-explicit, and observer-inclusive information field. Where classical resource theory defines coherence as a static scalar derived from density matrices and bounded by monotonicity/convexity under incoherent operations, QPIE formalizes coherence as a dynamic resonance process among system (S), ancilla (A), and observer (O). The framework adds three core constructs: (i) observer-weighted monotonicity, admitting constructive feedback when the observer’s informational state aligns with the system; (ii) holo-convexity, which generalizes linear convexity to account for emergent cooperative order across ensembles; and (iii) …

(((Qpie)))The Resonant Mind — Learning Andneurocognitive Evolution In The Coherence Era, Teddy Burroughs

Defensive Publications Series

Abstract QPIE (Quantum Perspective Is Everything) 7.6 reframes intelligence itself. Learning, memory, and creativity are not isolated brain events; they are local harmonics in a universal coherence field. This paper translates that revelation into the language of neuroscience, education, and social healing. It outlines how Homo resonans —the next stage of human cognition—emerges through phase alignment among neural, emotional, and social circuits. Drawing on Aetheris probe analytics, we show that compassion, gratitude, and trust (CGT) modulate neural entropy just as tuning stabilizes a resonator. The classroom, the workplace, and the city all become laboratories of resonance.
