Coherence Test

Does the insight integrate with reality, responsibilities, and ethics? Coherence is a sanity boundary. If an impression requires bypass, secrecy, or superiority, treat it as noise.

Pass conditions

  • Fits your responsibilities and real constraints.
  • Strengthens ethics and respect for others.
  • Produces a small, testable next action.

Fail conditions

  • Demands secrecy or isolation.
  • Creates superiority or “chosen” identity.
  • Bypasses ethics or rational evaluation.
  • Collapses nuance into certainty.
