CORE THESIS
“Mental Health is Informational Coherence, not Chemical Balance.”
The human is an informational agent (not thermodynamic) — maintains consistency with Law I.
WORKING STRUCTURE
| File | Owner | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
_HUB.md | Shared | Coordination, status, decisions |
CLAUDE_NOTES.md | Claude | Research synthesis, evidence |
JIM_NOTES.md | Jim | HRV data, counter-arguments, additions |

CURRENT STATUS
✅ COMPLETED
- Core thesis established
- 12-Step vs CBT evidence gathered (Cochrane 2020)
- Placebo mechanism research collected
- Coupling Constant (α) proposed as bridge metric
- Evidence saved to theory downloader
🔄 IN PROGRESS
- Operationalize Psychological Entropy (S_ψ)
- Research HRV/HeartMath coherence data
- Develop formal α measurement scale
📋 TODO
- Map existing Laws to psychological phenomena
- Identify testable predictions
- Draft paper outline
KEY DECISIONS LOG
| Date | Decision | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
| Dec 24 | Human = informational agent | Jim’s correction — consistency with Law I |
| Dec 24 | Lead with addiction data | Directly tests Theorem 8.1, empirically bulletproof |
| Dec 24 | Placebo = secondary evidence | Consistent but not dependent |
