The Innate Coherence Theory explains why the mind instinctively detects when something feels “off.” It proposes an inborn grammar of coherence that organizes perception, emotion, and meaning into a stable sense of reality. When trauma or media conditioning rewrites that grammar, dissonance becomes the correction signal that points back to truth.

Freud’s Eros–Thanatos polarity became DNP when I translated it into a state architecture: Love–Life as coherence and Sex–Death as compulsion. Sleep loss showed how meaning “sticks” differently across states, and bipolar destabilization revealed the same switch at extreme amplitude. This Discoveries record documents that conversion from drive theory into an operational model.

DNP reframes the bipolar spectrum as oscillation between two native circuits: Love–Life coherence and Sex–Death arousal captured by trauma and media. The model links shifts to brain rhythms (alpha vs beta control bursts), reward and stress dynamics, and symbolic conditioning—proposing ethical, testable research and clinical implications.
