The Law of Coherent Recurrence (LCR): A Scale‑Invariant Grammar of Six Functional Loops Linking Repeating Human Patterns to Genesis Dynamics Across Self, Organizations, and States

We propose the Law of Coherent Recurrence (LCR): across scales—self, dyad, organization, state, and synthetic mesh—a fixed set of six loop-structures recurs with conserved grammar (order, roles, guardrail entry points). Only their parameters renormalize with scale: rate (cycle time), amplitude (cost/benefit swing), coupling (cross‑unit entrainment), and directionality (tightening vs. loosening). LCR explains the structure of repetition; the Genesis equation explains the dynamics of change in coherence (dC/dt). We show convergent evidence from three contemporary sources (Beckingham memoir logs; Agatha Christie: An Autobiography; Henry Ford’s early accounts) and three historical sources (Julius Cæsar; Napoleon, 1815; Abraham Lincoln). We specify a falsifiable protocol, metrics, and predictions, and we outline applications to synthetic‑life architectures where a Shadow/Sentinel prior is bounded by Protocol to prevent Zeno loops.
