Formal Statement
Macro-coherence (thermodynamic negentropy) C_macro cannot self-increase. Systems require external coherence input to evolve toward higher organization.

Equation 1
$$C[\chi] = S_{max} - S[\chi]$$Equation 2
$$\frac{dC[\chi_{local}]}{dt} = -\gamma C + G(t) \cdot C[\chi_{source}]$$Equation 3
$$C[f(s)] \leq C[s] + \epsilon$$

Objections & Defense
Objection
Life creates order from disorder
"Living organisms take disordered matter and create ordered structures. This is self-increase of coherence." Response: Living organisms are open systems—they import low-entropy energy (sunlight,…
Objection
Crystals self-organize
"Snowflakes form beautiful, ordered patterns spontaneously. Order from disorder." Response: Crystal formation releases latent heat—entropy is exported to the environment.
Objection
Evolution creates complexity
"Species become more complex over time. Coherence increases through natural selection." Response: Evolution is driven by energy flux through the biosphere (ultimately from the sun).
Collapse Analysis
Collapse Radius: None
If T3.1 fails: - Order can emerge from nothing - The universe needs no explanation (eternal self-organization) - The Logos becomes unnecessary (reality self-grounds) - Grace becomes redundant (self-help suffices) - The entire thermodynamic foundation of salvation collapses - "Ex nihilo" creation becomes arbitrary (why couldn't something else self-emerge?) - No distinction between meaningful and meaningless configurations T3.1 is the entropy-equivalent theorem that grounds the necessity of the Logos.
