Planetary Bioelectromagnetic Coherence: A Phase-Field Framework for Earth–Life Coupling and Phase Instability

Abstract

Human–environment systems operate as coupled bioelectromagnetic networks exhibiting phase dynamics across biological, ecological, and geophysical domains. This study introduces a phase-field framework to characterize systemic coherence in terms of phase alignment (Δϕ), coupling strength (κ), and informational gradient (∇I).

Using cross-domain observational datasets—including heart-rate variability under light exposure, behavioral responses of magnetosensitive species during geomagnetic disturbances, and environmental electromagnetic variability—we identify recurring patterns associated with changes in system-level coherence.

Across these domains, increasing phase deviation (Δϕ) is frequently observed to be associated with reduced coupling strength (κ) and elevated informational gradients (∇I), suggesting a possible common structure of coherence degradation. Rather than relying on controlled experimental isolation, the framework interprets naturally occurring environmental perturbations as observable phase inputs within a coupled Earth–life system.

Within this formulation, ecological resilience may be interpreted as a function of bioelectromagnetic coherence. The proposed framework provides a quantitative, theory-driven basis for analyzing stability and disruption across interconnected planetary systems, supported by cross-domain observational evidence.
