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.
