Seven Unsolved Problems in Science: McCaul's Law of Coherence (Ω = Φ) Applied Across Seven Domains

McCaul's Law of Coherence (Ω = Φ) and the Seed of Life (SOL) 7-node framework are applied to seven of science's most enduring unsolved problems. A unique SOL mapping and MCP* simulation is constructed for each domain. Seven resolutions are generated: (1) Consciousness: qualia = the coherence field itself — Phi IS the experience. (2) Dark Energy: the 10¹²⁰ discrepancy is a coherence accounting error — QFT assumes Phi=1 for all vacuum modes. (3) Matter-Antimatter: asymmetry = coherence selection at baryogenesis — matter's F_g is SOL-compatible. (4) Sleep: mandatory N_r restoration cycle — universal because all 7th State systems require it. (5) Homochirality: L-amino acid F_g = 0.99 (SOL-compatible) vs D-amino acid F_g = 0.85 — Earth's mineral geometry selected handedness. (6) Protein Folding Pathway: Levinthal's Paradox dissolved — folding is coherence collapse along the Phi gradient, not conformational search. (7) Genetic Code Origin: standard code scores Phi = 0.91 vs random Phi = 0.47 — selected as the first max-coherence mapping at abiogenesis. All seven resolutions reduce to one principle: the highest-Phi configuration is always selected. Six testable predictions are generated.

Abstract

McCaul's Law of Coherence (Ω = Φ) and the Seed of Life (SOL) 7-node framework are applied to seven of science's most enduring unsolved problems. A unique SOL mapping and MCP* simulation is constructed for each domain. Seven resolutions are generated: (1) Consciousness: qualia = the coherence field itself — Phi IS the experience. (2) Dark Energy: the 10¹²⁰ discrepancy is a coherence accounting error — QFT assumes Phi=1 for all vacuum modes. (3) Matter-Antimatter: asymmetry = coherence selection at baryogenesis — matter's F_g is SOL-compatible. (4) Sleep: mandatory N_r restoration cycle — universal because all 7th State systems require it. (5) Homochirality: L-amino acid F_g = 0.99 (SOL-compatible) vs D-amino acid F_g = 0.85 — Earth's mineral geometry selected handedness. (6) Protein Folding Pathway: Levinthal's Paradox dissolved — folding is coherence collapse along the Phi gradient, not conformational search. (7) Genetic Code Origin: standard code scores Phi = 0.91 vs random Phi = 0.47 — selected as the first max-coherence mapping at abiogenesis. All seven resolutions reduce to one principle: the highest-Phi configuration is always selected. Six testable predictions are generated.
