In [[Node Theory]], coherence describes how well a system's patterns maintain their relationships while allowing for growth and adaptation. Unlike rigid order or static stability, coherence represents a dynamic form of pattern maintenance that enables both persistence and evolution of meaningful structures.

== Overview ==

A system is coherent when its patterns work together instead of fighting each other. This goes beyond simple organization - a crystal is ordered but not coherent in the deeper sense because it cannot maintain its patterns if disturbed. In contrast, a living cell is coherent because it actively maintains its patterns while adapting to changes. [[Language|Languages]] are coherent when their patterns can evolve without losing their systematic relationships.
