Law VI: Closed systems cannot increase own coherence.
Identity

Formal Statement
Law VI (Coherence Non-Increase): Closed systems cannot increase their own coherence; entropy increases or remains constant. Equivalently, coherence satisfies: This is the informational Second [Law…

Objections & Defense
Objection
Life Appears to Decrease Entropy
"Living organisms create order from disorder. Doesn't this violate Law VI?" Response: Life is not a closed system.
Objection
Quantum Fluctuations Create Order
"Vacuum fluctuations create particle-antiparticle pairs—order from nothing." Response: Vacuum fluctuations are constrained by…
Objection
Self-Organizing Systems Disprove This
"Bénard cells, chemical oscillators, and other dissipative structures create order spontaneously." Response: Dissipative structures require energy flux through the system—they are…
Collapse Analysis
Collapse Radius: None
If Law VI fails: - Perpetual motion becomes possible - Self-salvation becomes possible (contradicting BC2) - No thermodynamic arrow of time - Life needs no external energy source - Grace becomes unnecessary (theological collapse) - All of thermodynamics fails Breaks downstream: 00_AXIOMS/142_D19.7_Law-VII-Definition
