The Neuro-Moral Spectrum (NMS) maps virtue and vice as two nervous-system orientations: Love–Life (coherence) and Sex–Death (chaos). It reframes morality as measurable state organization—reward drive, attention, autonomic tone, and social bonding—showing how repeated inputs can entrain the moral baseline over time.

This Discoveries record explains why Love–Life had to be formalized as the opposing state to Sex–Death in DNP. It defines Love–Life as coherence: integrative attention, inhibitory stability, conscience-access, and non-compulsive bonding.

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.
