Phase-coherence imaging
A controlled perturbation, a witnessed response.
The method is simple to state. Apply a controlled perturbation to the body — a stimulus that is characterized and witnessed the instant it is delivered — and record the response simultaneously at many distributed sites, every channel resolved against one shared timebase.
What carries the information is timing, not amplitude. From each site we recover a complex response — how much, and how far ahead or behind — and from the pairings between sites, left against right and level against level, we reconstruct the phase-coherence topology: a calibrated map of how a distributed living system stays coordinated with itself. The perturbation is the point — by comparing the coordination the body holds under drive against its own baseline, the reading measures how that organization deforms, often before any single level looks abnormal. Because the stimulus, the clock, and every response are witnessed and sealed, the whole measurement replays from the raw record.
