SECTION XII | EQUATIONS
This section presents the complete array of Cohereon Doctrine's equations (TDY_COH-E_1 to TDY_COH-E_117). These equations serve as the literal mathematical formalization of the axiomatic principles, providing the precise operational language and quantifiable metrics for Cohereon Doctrine's function and manifestation. The relational data contained within the related_axioms and related_equations fields represents the most comprehensive and coherent map of doctrinal interdependencies available as of this version's release date. The absence of a documented relationship must not be interpreted as definitive proof of non-relation, but rather as an indication that no direct dependency was identified during the last formal Relational Integrity Check.
