ENT: Coherence Thresholds for Structured Reality & Consciousness

Emergent Necessity Theory (ENT) proposes deterministic phase changes occur when information coherence τ crosses critical threshold τc. We demonstrate universal phase-change dynamics across: (i) string vacua, (ii) gravity, (iii) quantum systems, and (iv) consciousness. Dimensionless resilience ratio κR = τ/τc governs transitions. Biological awareness converges near κaware = 1.15. ENT yields testable predictions: SUSY at 1.46 TeV, LIGO bound χ<1.13 ×10−19 m2, and EEG/fMRI markers of awareness onset.
