Objections & Defense
Objection
How can you estimate a coupling constant for souls?
"This number seems invented. Where does 10⁻¹⁸ come from?" Response: The order of magnitude comes from: (1) Known weakness of consciousness effects on physical systems (no levitation, no obvious PK).
Objection
Why continuous?
"Maybe the soul connects at discrete moments (thoughts, decisions)." Response: Continuity follows from field dynamics. Ψ_S obeys the Klein-Gordon equation (E10.1), which has continuous solutions.
Objection
This makes the soul physically detectable
"If there's coupling, we should be able to measure it." Response: Weak coupling means the signal-to-noise ratio is very low. Detecting g ~ 10⁻¹⁸ requires: extremely sensitive instruments, isolated…
Collapse Analysis
Collapse Radius: None
If P10.1 fails: - Either g = 0 (complete dualism, no soul-body interaction) - Or g >> 10⁻¹⁵ (easily detectable, contradicts observations) - Soul becomes epiphenomenal (if g = 0) or trivially physical (if g too strong) - The intermediate position of Theophysics collapses - P10.2 (Identity Persistence) loses its coupling basis - Resurrection physics becomes disconnected from embodied life P10.1 is the Goldilocks coupling—not too strong, not too weak, just right for subtle but real soul-body interaction.
