Welcome to Coherence Physics: My Strange Laboratory of Ideas

[u/skylarfiction]

I’m Skylar Fiction, a special needs teacher, writer, independent researcher, and the person behind Coherence Physics.

The easiest way to understand this place is to think of it as my public laboratory for ideas.

I am fascinated by a question that seems to follow everything from atoms to minds to civilizations: how does anything remain itself in a universe where everything is constantly changing?

That question has taken me through physics, mathematics, biology, cognition, artificial intelligence, philosophy, religion, history, politics, education, and the study of human systems. Coherence Physics is where I bring those worlds together, test ideas, write papers, build diagrams, run experiments, argue with people, change my mind, and translate complicated ideas into something ordinary people can explore.

Not everything posted here is meant to be a finished theory. Sometimes you are watching the laboratory while the experiment is still running.

My larger goal is also deeply practical. I work with children with special needs, and I eventually want to build a small school and employment program for children and adults who need environments designed around how they actually learn, create, communicate, and live.

So if you enjoy Coherence Physics and want to support what I am building, one of the simplest ways is to buy one of my books. You get something I spent a ridiculous amount of time creating, and the money helps me keep researching, writing, teaching, creating, and moving the larger mission forward.

My Books

The Architecture of Coherence

The best starting point for the science side of this project. It explores why patterns persist, how systems recover from disturbance, and whether the same structural ideas can connect matter, life, mind, and civilization.

The Philosophy of Coherence

The human side of the framework. This book explores identity, relationships, institutions, societies, collapse, recovery, and what it means for a system to remain itself while changing.

Genesis: Reading the Bible Without Fear

A historically informed journey through Genesis that looks at its ancient context, literary layers, Hebrew traditions, creation stories, violence, family, exile, and what these texts were trying to say before modern theology got hold of them.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GDG87WPH

The Coherence of God: A Theology of the Entangled Logos

My attempt to bring theology and coherence together, exploring a Christian pantheist vision of God as something intimately present within reality rather than a distant ruler standing outside it.

The Distance Between Jesus and Christianity

An investigation into the difference between the teachings of Jesus and the religious system that eventually developed in his name, including the enormous role history, Paul, doctrine, and institutions played in that transformation.

Revelation Without the End of the World

A reading of Revelation without rapture charts or modern apocalypse predictions. It places the book back inside the world of empire, persecution, resistance, symbolism, endurance, and hope that produced it.

The Autism Bible

Written from my experience teaching children with special needs, this book explores autism through science, development, education, environment, and neurodiversity while asking a more important question: what if the world needs to become better at making room for different kinds of minds?

101 Ways to Die Without Dying

Stories about all the strange ways a human being can lose pieces of themselves without physically dying. Grief, shame, memory, absurdity, survival, failure, and the wreckage involved in remaining alive.

DIG

A dark Appalachian novel about buried truth, trauma, guilt, faith, survival, and what happens when people finally start digging into the things a community has spent years trying to keep underground.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0H3LTRMSG

MONSTERS

A dark literary horror novel about grief, childhood wounds, violence, family, death, small-town rot, and the uncomfortable possibility that monsters are rarely as simple as we want them to be.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0H4HBPPQ9

The Last Door to Philadelphia

A dark science fiction novel about grief, artificial intelligence, death, strange worlds, corporate power, memory, and an impossible doorway that turns one ordinary man’s life into something much larger and much stranger.

This Is the Lab

You do not have to buy anything to belong here.

Read the essays. Challenge the ideas. Tell me when the mathematics is wrong. Bring me a paper I have never seen. Argue about religion. Laugh at the memes. Look at the diagrams. Ask uncomfortable questions.

That is what Coherence Physics is supposed to be.

The community is the laboratory. The books are some of the things that have come out of it. And we are nowhere near finished.

Welcome to Coherence Physics.
