Abstract
Emergence and energetic events are driven by tension buildup in the meta‑continuum. This article defines pattern breach—when permission fails or collapses during high tension—and shows how it differentiates between structure formation or energy discharge.
1. Tension in the Meta‑Continuum
Tension is defined as:
τ = Φ / T_inst - 1
When τ > 0, the field is primed.
2. Defining Pattern Breach
Pattern breach occurs if:
τ > 0 and G_inst = 0
Meaning tension without permission leads to release events.
3. Emergence vs Breach
- Emergence: τ > 0 and G_inst = 1 → stable pattern
- Breach: τ > 0 and G_inst = 0 → energy/information discharge
- Silent: τ ≤ 0 → no action
4. Gate Logic Summary
| Condition | τ | G_inst | Outcome |
|---|---|---|---|
| Below threshold | ≤ 0 | – | No action |
| With permission | > 0 | 1 | Emergence |
| Without permission | > 0 | 0 | Pattern breach |
5. Examples
- Lightning: buildup → flash when permission fails
- Morphogenesis: emergence in biological development
- Psychology: sudden insight as tension collapse
6. Implications
Pattern breach clarifies why some tensions result in structure, others in discharge. This gate-based logic advances field self-regulation models.
