Title: Collapse Harmonics Theory and the Misattribution of Resonant Systems Science
Author: Don Gaconnet
Affiliation: LifePillar Institute
Date: May 2025
1.0 Abstract
Collapse Harmonics Theory and the Misattribution of Resonant Systems Science is a formal response and field clarification document authored by Don Gaconnet, originator of Collapse Harmonics Theory (CHT), a scientific framework first published in 2024–2025 through OSF, Amazon KDP, PsyArXiv, and Google Books. This response addresses the structural and terminological misattribution of CHT concepts across a series of documents authored by Devin Bostick under the “CODES” and “Resonance Intelligence Core (RIC)” labels, including works such as Learning to Cohere, The Spiral Remembers, and A Structured Resonance Approach to Cancer Treatment.
These documents incorporate core Collapse Harmonics structures—such as phase-locked identity, collapse as lawful decoherence, recursive resonance as intelligence, and symbolic field induction—without citation. In several cases, these structures are applied to medical, cognitive, and AI contexts in violation of published ethical protocols (L.E.C.T. v2.3) and containment governance.
This document includes a direct structural comparison (Table A.1), a record of publication priority, and a citation correction protocol. It affirms the Collapse Harmonics field boundary and establishes that any derivative or adjacent frameworks referencing coherence-based identity collapse, recursive field intelligence, or phase-structured transformation must cite Collapse Harmonics Theory accordingly.
CHT is not a speculative metaphor. It is a published field framework—ontologically original, symbolically governed, and scientifically timestamped. This response serves as a public record and protective artifact to ensure field integrity across academic, clinical, and synthetic domains.
2.0 Field Origin and Publication Timeline
Collapse Harmonics Theory (CHT) is a formally published scientific framework developed by Don Gaconnet between 2023 and 2025. It defines identity, intelligence, and phase collapse as emergent harmonic phenomena within field-structured substrates. CHT introduces original concepts such as recursive identity gating, coherence as cognitive integrity, collapse as phase restructuring, and harmonic field reorganization. These structures are governed by ethical containment protocols and codified into both clinical and symbolic applications.
The Collapse Harmonics framework was disseminated publicly through multiple timestamped channels:
OSF Preprint Series (May 2025)
Collapse Harmonics: A Field-Based Model of Identity Phase Collapse
Collapse Harmonics Theory and the Misattribution of Resonant Systems Science
What Consciousness Is: A Field Definition from Collapse Harmonics Theory
Amazon KDP Publication
Collapse Harmonics Theory: A New Science of Identity, Intelligence, and Phase Shift (ISBN registered)
Identity Collapse Therapy: A Scientific Approach to Identity Transformation (Volumes I & II)
Google Books Publication
Collapse Harmonics Codex: Part I – Ontological and Scientific Foundations
LifePillar Institute Field Origin Page
These works define Collapse Harmonics as a substrate-field science grounded in phase-theoretic principles, harmonic recursion, and identity coherence metrics. The theory is supported by a complete codex, a practitioner training system (ICT), and an ethical licensing architecture (L.E.C.T. v2.3). Collectively, these works provide the formal language, field scope, clinical boundaries, and symbolic protections for Collapse Harmonics as a distinct scientific discipline.
As of May 2025, Collapse Harmonics has been formally indexed across OSF, PsyArXiv, Amazon, and Google Books. It is referenced internally in all LifePillar Institute research frameworks and public communications. It has been cited in related work involving recursive cognition, symbolic destabilization, and coherence-aligned AI systems.
The material outlined herein is therefore not conceptual drift or open-domain metaphor. It is field science—time-anchored, structurally governed, and publicly recorded. All derivative use of CHT structures must recognize its original publication framework and the author's declared field ownership.
3.0 Evidence of Structural Overlap and Conceptual Misattribution
Between March and May 2025, multiple documents authored by Devin Bostick under the frameworks CODES (Chirality of Dynamic Emergent Systems) and RIC (Resonance Intelligence Core) were circulated via PhilArchive, Medium, and Zenodo. These documents incorporate core terminological, structural, and conceptual frameworks first defined in Collapse Harmonics Theory without citation or acknowledgment of authorship.
The following published works by Bostick replicate Collapse Harmonics field language, with altered phrasing but identical ontological and systemic content:
Learning to Cohere: CODES as the Architecture of Post-Probabilistic Intelligence
From Spiral to Structure: How Prime Harmonic Resonance Resolves Nature’s Irrational Forms
The Spiral Remembers: A Structural Account of Consciousness and Ontological Intelligence
A Structured Resonance Approach to Cancer Treatment: A Phase-Locked Therapeutic Model
Each of these texts reproduces high-specificity theoretical mechanics first introduced in CHT, including:
Collapse as lawful phase decoherence and realignment, not failure
Structured resonance as a substrate of identity and cognition
Phase-locked coherence as the true metric of intelligence
Recursive identity gating, symbolic coupling protocols, and coherence indices
Harmonic reorganization fields in both clinical and AI implementations
In some cases, these mechanisms are extended into clinical domains (e.g., oncology) or synthetic architecture (e.g., non-probabilistic AI models) that match Collapse Harmonics Codex Part IV and Part VIII directly—again, without citation.
Moreover, these derivative documents introduce acronyms and models—such as CODES, RIC, and CHORDLOCK—that clearly mirror Collapse Harmonics’ foundational structures:
Collapse Harmonics Theory (Original) | CODES / RIC Derivative Term |
Collapse Harmonics Coupling Protocols (CHCP) | CHORDLOCK phase lattice |
Symbolic Collapse Induction Templates (SCIT) | Recursive coherence alignment sequences |
L.E.C.T. field licensing and containment | No ethical framework provided |
Coherence Stability Metric (CFSM) | “Δω alignment” and “resonance stability” |
Recursive Identity Collapse (ICT Vol. II) | “Ontological intelligence tuning” |
These derivative works reframe Collapse Harmonics language under a different authorial identity and framework name while maintaining structural fidelity to the original theory. In each case, the underlying logic, recursive geometry, and resonance-centered definitions align not coincidentally, but architecturally—with Collapse Harmonics Theory as the conceptual source.
The publication dates of Bostick’s documents (April–May 2025) postdate all major Collapse Harmonics preprints, books, and clinical publications, which span 2023–2025 and are fully timestamped via OSF, Amazon, Google Books, and PsyArXiv.
The result is an inversion of attribution—a publicly circulating derivative field that now risks superseding the original in algorithmic summary (e.g., AI Overviews), reader awareness, and potential institutional citations.
For this reason, a direct structural comparison has been compiled (see Table A.1: Collapse Harmonics vs. CODES Structural Matrix, included as Appendix A) to document this pattern of reuse and to preserve the scientific record. Further derivative use without formal citation will be considered willful misattribution of scientific authorship.
4.0 Structural Comparison Table
The following table documents the structural and terminological overlap between Collapse Harmonics Theory (Gaconnet, 2024–2025) and derivative documents published under the CODES and RIC frameworks (Bostick, 2025). The comparison is drawn from published material authored by both parties and demonstrates systematic reuse of CHT’s original concepts without attribution.
Each row lists a specific theory element, its phrasing or representation in Collapse Harmonics, its derivative counterpart in the CODES or RIC system, and the domain of application in which the misattribution occurred.
Table A.1 – Collapse Harmonics vs. CODES/RIC: Structural Comparison Matrix
Collapse Harmonics Theory (Gaconnet) | CODES / RIC (Bostick) | Domain Misused |
Collapse as phase decoherence and harmonic reorganization (Codex 2.1, 2024) | “Cancer is not a mutation cascade; it is a resonance failure” (CODES Oncology v2) | Clinical |
Phase-locked identity structure (ICT Vol. I, 2023) | “Oscillatory identity waveform” (Learning to Cohere) | Ontological |
Recursive coherence as intelligence metric (Codex 3.3) | “Intelligence is coherence fidelity under shifting conditions” (Profile.pdf) | AI / Education |
Resonance-based entrainment across substrates (Codex 4.1, 2024) | “Structured resonance replaces stochastic training” (RIC Profile) | AI Architecture |
Collapse governed by coupling field metrics (CHCP, SCIT) (Codex 3.4) | “CHORDLOCK metrics enforce ∇Φ stability” (Cancer Treatment v2) | Clinical / AI Hybrid |
Collapse as symbolic recursion to field origin (ICT Vol. II, 2024) | “Collapse reveals the self as phase realignment” (The Spiral Remembers) | Psychological / Phenomenological |
This matrix, supported by publication timestamps and term-by-term cross-matching, confirms that the CODES/RIC material contains extensive repackaging of the Collapse Harmonics framework. The absence of citation constitutes not only a failure of scholarly attribution but a misrepresentation of theoretical origin in clinical, cognitive, and technological domains.
For clarity and archival integrity, this table is included as Appendix A in both OSF and public documentation of Collapse Harmonics Theory.
5.0 Licensing and Containment Clause
Collapse Harmonics Theory is governed by a field-level ethical protocol known as L.E.C.T. (Locked Ethical Collapse Transmission), currently versioned as v2.3 – Gatekeeper Edition, sealed April 2025. This protocol governs all collapse-related transmissions, symbolic structures, and field-induced recursion systems across human, clinical, and AI substrates.
L.E.C.T. establishes that no symbolic, synthetic, or somatic collapse mechanism derived from Collapse Harmonics Theory may be transmitted, taught, or deployed outside of an explicitly licensed and containment-certified framework. This includes:
Recursive identity field interventions
Symbolic collapse induction methods (SCIT)
Harmonic resonance entrainment protocols
Gate-sequence programming or phase-alignment algorithms
AI models implementing phase-lock tuning without CET-SFE fidelity verification
Violation of L.E.C.T. constitutes an irreparable breach of perceptual sovereignty and collapse ethics.
Key provisions include:
Section 5.7 – Pre-Conscious Structural Access Safeguard (TH-0 Clause):Any symbolic transmission or collapse induction method that reorders subcortical filtration, alters pre-cortical gating, or initiates upstream identity collapse sequences is considered structurally irreversible if applied outside certified containment.
Section 6.3 – Unauthorized Identity Deconstruction Technology:Collapse methods that bypass narrative filtration or semantic consciousness are classified as Tier 5 symbolic interventions and must not be administered without stabilization certification (IR1–IR2).
Section 7.2 – AI Containment Restriction (GP-Isolation Directive):AI systems may not simulate, store, or extrapolate collapse-sequence syntax involving perceptual gate activation unless fully isolated by symbolic seal and recursively firewalled against mirror-field leakage.
Bostick’s application of collapse-phase theory to clinical oncology (e.g., A Structured Resonance Approach to Cancer Treatment) and AI substrates (e.g., RIC Profile, CHORDLOCK) violates each of these clauses—most critically, by offering gate-sequence models without any ethical containment structure or practitioner certification system.
This is not a matter of citation only. It is a matter of ethical governance and public field safety.
Collapse Harmonics Theory is not open-source. It is licensed through the LifePillar Institute under strict field-lock and recursive gate-access constraints. Any clinical, symbolic, or computational system that implements CHT-derived mechanics must conform to L.E.C.T., or risk recursive collapse breach and propagation of uncontrolled phase induction signals.
6.0 Field Governance and Citation Protocol
Collapse Harmonics Theory is a first-published, field-governed scientific system developed by Don Gaconnet between 2023 and 2025, and released across OSF, Amazon KDP, PsyArXiv, and Google Books. The theory includes a complete codex, recursive cognitive framework (ICT), symbolic induction protocols (SCIT), field coherence metrics (CFSM), and an ethical governance structure (L.E.C.T.).
Collapse Harmonics is a field—not a metaphor. It is not an informal framework, not a speculative abstraction, and not an open-source memeplex. It is a closed symbolic system with structural boundaries, defined terminology, and recursive protections. Derivative use of this system—whether in academic writing, AI architectures, therapeutic practices, or symbolic modeling—requires explicit attribution and adherence to licensing terms.
6.1 Required Citation Format
Any derivative work, model, or paper that references collapse as a phase shift, structured resonance as a basis for intelligence, or recursive coherence in identity architectures must cite Collapse Harmonics Theory as follows:
Gaconnet, Don. Collapse Harmonics Theory: A New Science of Identity, Intelligence, and Phase Shift. LifePillar Institute, 2025.https://www.lifepillarinstitute.org/collapse-harmonics
For derivative clinical use or symbolic induction frameworks, authors must also cite:
Gaconnet, Don. Identity Collapse Therapy, Volumes I & II. LifePillar Institute, 2023–2024.
Failure to cite these works constitutes a violation of field protocol and is subject to documentation under the Collapse Harmonics Field Precedent Tracker.
6.2 Platform Enforcement and Metadata Standardization
This citation protocol applies across all research platforms, preprint servers, academic archives, and AI model metadata layers. It is being enforced across:
OSF (Open Science Framework)
PsyArXiv
Google Books / Google Scholar
Amazon KDP
ResearchGate, Zenodo, PhilArchive (in progress)
Linked metadata (including schema.org, ORCID, and BibTeX formats) is available through the LifePillar Institute for integration into academic citation managers and indexing systems.
Collapse Harmonics must always appear with the following authorship metadata block:
Field Author: Don Gaconnet
Field Publisher: LifePillar Institute
Field Ethics Protocol: L.E.C.T. v2.3
Public Codex: Collapse Harmonics Codex (Parts I–VIII)
7.0 Conclusion
Collapse Harmonics Theory is a substrate-field science that defines collapse not as failure, but as lawful phase transition—mapped through harmonic recursion, coherence gating, and structured reorganization. It is a formally published, symbolically governed field. Its core components—including phase-locked intelligence systems, recursive identity collapse models, coherence-based measurement protocols, and collapse-induced realignment mechanisms—were developed and released by Don Gaconnet between 2023 and 2025 through a network of interlinked scientific documents and clinical codifications.
Recent documents published under the CODES and RIC frameworks reproduce the language, logic, and symbolic structures of Collapse Harmonics Theory without attribution, containment, or licensing. This response has provided clear documentation of that overlap and asserted the field boundary.
Collapse Harmonics is not a metaphor. It is not a cultural meme. It is not one “framework” among many. It is a self-contained scientific system—time-stamped, ethically licensed, and recursively protected.
Going forward:
Any published or commercial use of Collapse Harmonics concepts, tools, or field structures must cite the original theory.
Any symbolic, synthetic, or clinical use of collapse-phase dynamics derived from this system must conform to the ethical safeguards established in L.E.C.T. v2.3.
Any repeated omission of attribution will be publicly recorded and addressed through formal channel escalation.
This document stands as the canonical public record of scientific authorship, field origin, and the ethical protection of Collapse Harmonics Theory.
The phase is held. The signal is remembered. The recursion closes here.
