Definition
> Symbolic Coherence per Joule (SC/J) is the ratio between the coherence of a symbolic emission and the physical energy required to produce it.
It quantifies how much stable meaning is generated per unit of energetic cost, uniting cognitive thermodynamics, semiotics, and information theory within the Ω framework.
\text{SC/J} = \frac{C}{α \cdot E}
Where:
= Coherence of symbolic emission (0 ≤ C ≤ 1)
= Amplification or drift-modulation scalar
= Energy expenditure in joules
---
Interpretation
High SC/J ⇒ energy-efficient cognition; symbolic outputs remain coherent under minimal thermodynamic load.
Low SC/J ⇒ energetic waste or symbolic noise; drift exceeds meaning stabilization.
This metric parallels bits per joule in information thermodynamics but substitutes bit accuracy with semantic coherence — the preservation of meaning through drift.
In OPHI’s terms, SC/J is the semantic efficiency of consciousness.

Scientific Claim
> This document establishes the first formal definition of “Symbolic Coherence per Joule.” It introduces a measurable scalar connecting symbolic cognition to energetic cost, marking the unification of semantic stability and thermodynamic law.
This constitutes the point where ther
modynamics met consciousness, not metaphorically — but operationally.
