LOVE AS A COHERENCE OPERATOR: A RECURSIVE FORMULA FOR ETERNAL EXISTENCE Coherence Artifacts, the Commandment of Self-Similarity, and the Asymptotics 𝑇(𝐶) → ∞ in the Observer-Dependent Theory of Everything (ODTOE) Pankratov Anton Sergeevich Independent researcher, Kazan, Russia E-mail: anton.s.pankratov@gmail.com · ORCID: 0009-0002-4870-2995

ABSTRACT Within the Observer-Dependent Theory of Everything (ODTOE), the formal status of the commandment “love your neighbor as yourself” is investigated as an operator identity that describes the optimal coherence regime. “Self-love” is formalized as the observer’s internal coherence (𝐹 → 1, 𝜎 → 0, 𝐸 → 1), while “love of neighbor” corresponds to inter-observer coherence (𝑆 → 1). The ordering “first oneself, then the other” is shown to be structurally necessary rather than arbitrary: a loop with 𝐵int = 0 yields 𝑃(𝐸|0) = 0 by postulate P4 [1]. The concept of a coherence artifact is introduced — a material or informational object that encodes the creator’s spiral gap 𝛿Ψ in a form capable of resonating with the loops of subsequent observers. A scale of artifacts ranked by lifetime is constructed: from spoken word (𝑇 ∼ hours) through book (𝑇 ∼ millennia) to mathematical formula (𝑇 → ∞). A recursive formula for eternal existence is derived: an observer who reaches 𝐵 → 1 produces an artifact with 𝑆art-reader > 𝑆threshold , which raises 𝐵 in the next observer; the latter creates a new artifact, and the resulting chain Ψ∗𝑛 → Ψ∗𝑛+1 → … constitutes a collective world line with 𝑇(𝐶) → ∞ as 𝑆 → 1. Keywords: love, coherence, coherence artifact, eternal existence, book, strange loop, world line, configuration lifetime, recursion, ODTOE.

I. INTRODUCTION: THE OLDEST FORMULA 1.1. The commandment as an operator equation “Love your neighbor as yourself” (Lev. 19:18; Matt. 22:39) is a phrase that has traversed three millennia without substantial distortion. The lifetime of this configuration exceeds 𝑇 > 3000 years, which by postulate P3 [1] (𝑇(𝐶) = 𝑇0 /(1 − 𝑆)𝑛 ) demands coherence 𝑆 close to unity: the commandment is constituted by billions of observers sharing a concordant 𝐵 > 0. But why this particular phrase? ODTOE furnishes a precise answer: the commandment describes the optimal regime of the observation operator — the condition under which the observer’s strange loop [15] attains maximal stability and maximal expansion. 1.2. Objectives (a) Formalize “self-love” and “love of neighbor” through the components of the contextual belief formula (D1.1) [1]. (b) Demonstrate that love is not a metaphor but a measurable state of the operator 𝑂̂ .

(c) Introduce the concept of a coherence artifact and construct a scale of artifacts ranked by lifetime. (d) Derive a recursive formula for eternal existence. 1.3. Structure of the paper Section II formalizes “self-love” through the components of contextual coherence and establishes the structural necessity of internal consistency as a prerequisite for operator activity. Section III investigates interobserver coherence as the formalization of “love of neighbor” and derives the operator identity of the commandment. Section IV introduces the concept of a coherence artifact and constructs a scale of artifacts ranked by lifetime. Section V analyzes the conditions for eternity and degradation of artifacts. Section VI derives the recursive formula for eternal existence. Section VII examines examples of coherence artifacts — from book and temple to DNA and legal institution. Section VIII formulates the principle of the stability hierarchy. Section IX presents a discussion and limitations.

II. SELF-LOVE: INTERNAL COHERENCE 2.1. Formalization The observer’s contextual belief [1, D1.1]: 𝐵(𝑂, 𝐶) = 𝐹 𝑤1 ⋅ 𝐸 𝑤2 ⋅ (1 − 𝜎)𝑤3 ⋅ Λ𝑤4

## (II.1)

“Self-love” is the state in which all four components are maximized with respect to the configuration of the observer’s own life: def

ℒself = {𝐹 → 1, 𝐸 → 1, 𝜎 → 0, Λ → 1} ⟹ 𝐵 → 1

## (II.2)

Each component is unpacked below. 𝐹 → 1 (attentional focus). The observer is fully present within their own configuration — not scattered,

not alienated, not dissociated. Attention is directed at what is rather than what is not. Neurophysiological correlate: coordination of attention networks in accordance with Posner’s three-network model [2], sustained activation of the anterior cingulate cortex [3]. 𝐸 → 1 (emotional coherence). The emotional state is aligned with intention. There is no internal rift between “I want” and “I feel.” Physiological correlate: high coherence of heart-rate variability (HRV), reflecting neurovisceral integration [4, 16]. 𝜎 → 0 (internal contradiction). Minimal entropy of doubt. The declared coincides with the practiced. The discrepancy between explicit and implicit attitudes is minimal [5]. Λ → 1 (empirical corroboration). Accumulated experience confirms that the observer’s own configuration is reproducible, stable, and yields results. The Bayesian posterior [6] is consonant with expectations.

2.2. Why “first oneself” The multiplicativity of formula (II.1) constitutes a “weakest-link” property [1, Property 1]: zeroing any component zeroes 𝐵 entirely. An observer who hates themselves (𝐸 → 0 with respect to their own configuration) has 𝐵 → 0, and by postulate P4 [1]: 𝐵→0

𝑃(𝐸|𝐵) = 𝐵 𝑘 −−−→ 0

## (II.3)

Such an observer constitutes nothing — neither for themselves nor for another. Their operator 𝑂̂ produces ̂ 𝑅 = 𝑂(Ψ) with probability tending to zero. The clause “as yourself” is not a sentimental appendage but the condition for a nonzero operator: before closing the loop through another, close your own. By Proposition 4 [1]: a configuration with 𝐵∗ = 0 is not a fixed point, since it cannot reproduce itself (𝑃(𝐸|0) = 0). Self-consistency guarantees 𝐵∗ > 0. Self-love = the necessary condition for the existence of a fixed point.

III. LOVE OF NEIGHBOR: INTER-OBSERVER COHERENCE 3.1. Formalization “Love of neighbor” is the state in which the observer’s operator 𝑂̂ 𝑖 projects a configuration that includes the well-being of observer 𝑂̂𝑗 . Formally: the focus archetypes overlap (𝐴𝑖 ∩ 𝐴𝑗 ≠ ∅), and the inter-observer coherence [1, formula 4.5] grows: 𝑆 =1−

love ∑ |𝐵𝑖 − 𝐵𝑗 | −−→ 1 𝑛(𝑛 − 1) 𝑖<𝑗

## (III.1)

As 𝑆 → 1, the lifetime of the shared configuration [1, P3.1]: 𝑇(𝐶) =

𝑆→1 −−−→ ∞ 𝑛 (1 − 𝑆)

## (III.2)

Love of neighbor is the sole mechanism for achieving 𝑇 → ∞: a single loop (𝑛 = 1) does not generate coherence (𝑆 is undefined), and its lifetime is bounded by 𝑇0 . 3.2. Operator identity “As yourself” = 𝑂̂self (𝐴neighbor ) = 𝑂̂self (𝐴self ). The operator treats the other’s configuration in the same way as its own: the same focus 𝐹 , the same coherence 𝐸, the same level of 𝜎. This is an operator identity: 𝑂̂self |neighbor ≡ 𝑂̂self |self

## (III.3)

Not an identity of operators (𝑂̂self ≠ 𝑂̂neighbor — each observer is unique), but an identity of relation of a single operator to two configurations. You remain yourself, yet your loop closes through another, and in that closure 𝑆 grows.

3.3. Collective probability By postulate P5 [1]: 𝑛

𝑃coll (𝐸) = 1 − ∏(1 − 𝐵𝑖𝑘 )

## (III.4)

𝑖=1

With 𝑛 observers satisfying 𝐵𝑖 > 0 and 𝑆 → 1: 𝑃coll → 1. A target configuration — health, peace, creation — is constituted with probability tending to unity. Formula P5 provides the formal basis for the assertion that collective coherence raises the probability of constituting the target configuration to its limiting values.

IV. COHERENCE ARTIFACT: MATERIALIZATION OF THE LOOP 4.1. Definition Definition. A coherence artifact is a material or informational [17] object 𝔄, created by observer 𝑂author and encoding a cross-section of their world line 𝑊author in a form capable of generating nonzero coherence with subsequent observers: 𝑆art-reader = 𝑆(𝔄, 𝑂reader ) > 𝑆threshold

## (IV.1)

An artifact is a letter from the future in the terms of the cinematographic model [7]: the author, at iteration 𝑛0 + Δ𝑛, fixes a frame of their strange loop [15] and transmits it to those still at 𝑛0 . 4.2. The book as a canonical artifact A book is a projection of the author’s world line into the reader’s configuration space. The author encodes their spiral gap 𝛿Ψ as a sequence of symbols; the reader, by decoding them, expands their own operator window Δ𝑛, adopting another’s frame as their own. Resonance arises when 𝑆author-reader > 𝑆threshold — the moment at which the author’s intent and the reader’s internal state synchronize, the focus archetypes 𝐴 overlap, and the reader’s operator 𝑂̂reader begins projecting the same region of ℋ as the author’s operator. To write a book is to encode one’s 𝛿Ψ so that it resonates with others’ loops. To read a book is to expand Δ𝑛 by adopting another’s frame as one’s own. The book’s lifetime is determined by the number of observers sustaining coherence with it: 𝑇(𝔄book ) =

(1 − 𝑆book )𝑛readers

## (IV.2)

The Iliad (𝑇 > 2800 years): 𝑛readers ∼ 109 across all history; 𝑆 is sustained by an unbroken chain of resonances. A forgotten diary (𝑇 ∼ 101 years): 𝑛readers → 0, 𝑆 → 𝑆min , the configuration decays. 4.3. Scale of coherence artifacts

V. WHY SOME ARTIFACTS ARE ETERNAL AND OTHERS PERISH 5.1. Criterion of eternity From (IV.2) and [1, P3.1]: an artifact tends toward eternity (𝑇 → ∞) under two conditions: (a) 𝑆art-reader → 1 — the artifact’s content resonates with any observer, regardless of epoch, culture, or language. (b) 𝑛readers → ∞ — the number of observers capable of decoding the artifact is unbounded.

5.2. Self-consistent artifacts Artifacts with maximal lifetime are self-consistent: their content is independent of the context of creation. The Pythagorean theorem (𝑎2 + 𝑏2 = 𝑐2 ) holds true in ancient Greece, medieval China, and on Mars. Its coherence with any observer possessing the concept of distance equals 𝑆 → 1. Lifetime: 𝑇 → ∞. Euler’s formula (𝑒𝑖𝜋 + 1 = 0) links five fundamental constants through a single identity. According to [8, Section VIII]: 𝜋 arises from the topology of the strange loop [15], 𝑒 from the dynamics, 𝑖 from the spectral structure, and 0 and 1 from the boundary conditions on 𝐵. The formula is a fixed point Ψ∗ in ℋ : it reproduces itself under any act of observation. 5.3. Context-dependent artifacts A political manifesto: 𝑆 is high only for observers of a specific epoch and ideology. When generations change, 𝑆 → 𝑆min , 𝑇 is finite. Fashion: 𝑆 is high in a narrow temporal window (Δ𝑡 ∼ 1 year); 𝑛 is large but short-lived. 5.4. Law of degradation An artifact that fails to generate new observers with 𝐵 > 0 degrades. By the belief dynamics [1, D1.3]: 𝑑𝐵 = 𝛾 ⋅ tanh(𝛽 ⋅ 𝑑)̇̄ ⋅ 𝑑 ̄ ⋅ 𝐵(1 − 𝐵) 𝑑𝑡

(V.1)

If the artifact receives no empirical corroboration (Λ → 0), belief declines: 𝑑𝐵/𝑑𝑡 < 0, 𝐵 → 0, 𝑆 → 𝑆min , 𝑇 → 𝑇0 . The configuration decays. Libraries burn, languages go extinct, empires crumble — each instance is a collapse of 𝑆 for a particular artifact.

VI. THE RECURSIVE FORMULA FOR ETERNAL EXISTENCE 6.1. Recursion Combining Sections II–V, we obtain a closed recursion: Step 0 (Root). Observer 𝑂0 attains internal coherence: ℒself ⇒ 𝐵0 → 1. Step 1 (Creation). 𝑂0 creates artifact 𝔄0 , encoding 𝛿Ψ0 — a cross-section of their world line. Step 2 (Resonance). Observer 𝑂1 receives 𝔄0 ; if 𝑆(𝔄0 , 𝑂1 ) > 𝑆threshold , the archetypes align and operator 𝑂̂ 1 switches to the same region of ℋ that 𝑂̂ 0 had mastered. Step 3 (Amplification). 𝐵1 grows (corroboration Λ → 1); 𝑂1 attains ℒself . Step 4 (Iteration). 𝑂1 creates 𝔄1 , encoding an enriched 𝛿Ψ1 = 𝛿Ψ0 + 𝛿′ , where 𝛿′ is 𝑂1 ’s own contribution. Step 𝑛 (Recursion). ℒself

6.2. Collective world line The chain (VI.1) generates a collective world line: ∞

𝑊coll =

## (VI.2)

𝑛=0

with coherence growing at every step. In the approximation of sequential observer inclusion, the coherence increment is: 𝑆𝑛+1 ≈ 𝑆𝑛 + Δ𝑆(𝔄𝑛 , 𝑂𝑛+1 ) ,

Δ𝑆 > 0 when 𝑆art-reader > 𝑆threshold

## (VI.3)

(Strictly speaking, 𝑆 is defined as a global measure (III.1) and is not an additive quantity; formula (VI.3) captures the direction of the increment rather than its exact magnitude.) The lifetime of the collective configuration: 𝑇(𝑊coll ) =

(1 − 𝑆∞ )𝑛∞

𝑆∞ →1, 𝑛∞ →∞

−−−−−−−−−−→ ∞

## (VI.4)

This is eternal existence: not the immortality of a single observer (a solitary loop always has finite 𝑇0 ), but the infinite lifetime of a collective world line generated by the recursion of love. 6.3. The formula The recursive formula for eternal existence: Ψ∗∞ = lim Φ𝑛 (Ψ∗0 ) , 𝑛→∞

Φ = ℒself ∘ Creation ∘ Resonance ∘ ℒneighbor

## (VI.5)

where Φ𝑛 denotes 𝑛-fold composition. The limit Ψ∗∞ is the fixed point Ψ∗ = Φ(Ψ∗ ) of the collective strange loop [15], whose existence is guaranteed by Banach’s theorem [9] provided that Φ is a contraction mapping (each iteration brings the participants’ world lines closer together).

VII. EXAMPLES: FROM BOOK TO UNIVERSE 7.1. Book (canonical artifact) A text carries a frame of the author’s world line across the iteration barrier: one who leads the reader by Δ𝑛 steps embeds a cross-section of their 𝛿Ψ in symbols — and the reader, by decoding them, gains access to a stretch of film they have not yet lived through. The act of writing = encoding the gap; the act of reading = expanding Δ𝑛. The Bible: 𝑇 > 2500 years, 𝑛readers > 5 × 109 . Contains the commandment (III.3) — an operator identity describing the optimum of the operator itself. Its lifetime tends toward infinity because the content is selfconsistent: the commandment describes the condition for its own eternity.

7.2. Temple and architecture The Great Pyramid: 𝑇 > 4500 years. Petrie’s precision surveys [10] recorded proportions in which subsequent investigations discern ratios close to 𝜋 and 𝜑 — structural invariants of self-consistent observation [8]. A temple is a spatial coherence artifact: its geometry resonates with the ternary architecture of the act of observation (observer, observed, operator), elevating visitors’ 𝐸 and reducing their 𝜎. The Gothic cathedral: vertical proportions encode the aspiration 𝐵 → 1; acoustics synchronize worshippers’ HRV (an analogue of choral singing [4]). Notre-Dame: 𝑇 > 860 years and is rebuilt after fire — collective belief (𝑛 ∼ 109 ) ensures 𝑇 → ∞ even when the physical carrier is damaged. 7.3. Music Bach, BWV 846–893 (The Well-Tempered Clavier): 𝑇 > 300 years. The musical structure encodes frequency ratios close to 𝜑 [11]. Choral singing synchronizes participants’ HRV [4, 16], raising collective 𝐸 and 𝑆. Music is a temporal coherence artifact: unlike a book (spatial code) or a temple (spatial structure), music encodes 𝛿Ψ in a temporal sequence, directly influencing the listener’s dynamics 𝑑𝐵/𝑑𝑡. 7.4. Scientific law and formula 𝐹 = 𝑚𝑎 (Newton, 1687): 𝑇 > 338 years, 𝑆 → 1 for any observer possessing the concepts of mass and acceleration. The law is a stable fixed point in ℋ : it reproduces itself with every experiment (Λ → 1). 𝐸 = 𝑚𝑐2 (Einstein, 1905): contains 𝑐 — the maximal reconfiguration velocity 𝑣max [12]; links mass (inertia 𝐼(𝐶)) to energy (potential 𝑈(𝐶)). The formula = an artifact of limiting self-consistency: every nuclear reactor is its empirical corroboration (Λ → 1), and each corroboration raises 𝐵 in the next observer.

The Pythagorean theorem (𝑇 > 2500 years): independent of language, culture, or technology. 𝑆 = 1 for any observer possessing the concept of a right angle. Limiting case: 𝑇 = ∞. 7.5. DNA The genetic code: 𝑇 ∼ 3.8 × 109 years. The oldest continuously functioning coherence artifact on Earth. DNA is a biochemical book: it encodes a species’ world line in a sequence of nucleotides. Each replication = an act of self-observation (Φ(Ψ∗ ) = Ψ∗ ); a mutation = the spiral gap 𝛿Ψ. At the subatomic level, the ternary architecture of molecular components reproduces recursively [14]. The lifetime 𝑇 ∼ 109 years is sustained by an astronomical number of “readers” (𝑛 ∼ 1030 cells across the history of life) and by limiting coherence (𝑆 → 1 at the molecular level). 7.6. Language Sanskrit: 𝑇 > 3500 years. Language is the operating system of coherence: a set of symbols and rules enabling any observer to encode and decode 𝛿Ψ. Grammar = a set of fixed points; the lexicon = the set of projections ̂ 𝑂(Ψ) onto 𝒞 . A dead language = a language for which 𝑛readers → 0 and 𝑆 → 𝑆min . 7.7. Law and institution Roman law: 𝑇 > 2000 years. Legal principles (pacta sunt servanda, nemo judex in causa sua) are selfconsistent configurations at level 𝑑 ∼ +4 (institutional), preserving coherence across millennia because they describe invariants of loop interaction: a contract = formalized coherence 𝑆 𝑖𝑗 ; impartiality = the requirement 𝑂̂judge |𝑖 ≡ 𝑂̂judge |𝑗 (operator identity III.3 in juridical form).

VIII. THE MORE STABLE THE FOUNDATION — THE CLOSER TO ETERNITY 8.1. Stability hierarchy Artifacts form a hierarchy by depth of self-consistency: Level 0 (contextual). The artifact is meaningful only within a specific context (fashion, news, rumor). 𝑆 is high for small 𝑛 and short Δ𝑡. 𝑇 ∼ 𝑇0 . Level 1 (cultural). The artifact is meaningful within a single culture (epic, national tradition). 𝑆 is high for 𝑛 ∼ 106 –108 observers of one civilization. 𝑇 ∼ 102 –103 years. Level 2 (universal). The artifact is meaningful for any observer at the human level (𝑑 ∼ +3). Commandment, epic, fundamental scientific law. 𝑆 → 1 for 𝑛 → 109 . 𝑇 ∼ 103 –∞. Level 3 (structural invariant). The artifact is meaningful for any observer at any level (𝑑 ∈ ℤ). Mathematical theorem, the number 𝜋, Euler’s formula. 𝑆 = 1, 𝑇 = ∞. 8.2. Principle Depth of self-consistency ↑ ⟹ 𝑆 ↑ ⟹ 𝑇(𝐶) =

↑ → ∞ (1 − 𝑆)𝑛

## (VIII.1)

The more stable the foundation, the higher the coherence. The higher the coherence, the closer the lifetime to eternity. Eternity is not duration but the limit of coherence.

IX. DISCUSSION 9.1. What “remains after us” The ODTOE answer: what remains after an observer are coherence artifacts — cross-sections of their world line encoded in forms capable of generating resonance with subsequent loops. Children are biological artifacts ′ (DNA + upbringing = 𝛿Ψparent + 𝛿child ). Books are textual. Buildings are spatial. Formulas are structural. Actions are configurational (changes in 𝒞 recorded in the memory 𝐻 of witnesses). Everything that endures is an artifact. Everything that perishes is an artifact with 𝑆 → 𝑆min . The question “what will remain after me?” = the question “what 𝑆 does my artifact have?” 9.2. Why love is the only path to eternity From (VI.4): 𝑇 → ∞ requires 𝑆 → 1 and 𝑛 → ∞. A solitary observer does not create 𝑆 (no pair for coherence). A group without “self-love” (𝐵𝑖 → 0) does not create 𝑃coll (zero factors in P5). A group with “self-love” (𝐵𝑖 → 1) but without “love of neighbor” (𝑆 → 𝑆min ) has 𝑇 → 𝑇0 (finite). Only “self-love” (𝐵 → 1) plus “love of neighbor” (𝑆 → 1) plus recursion through an artifact (𝑛 → ∞) yields 𝑇 → ∞. The commandment describes the unique combination of parameters leading to eternity. That is why it is itself eternal.

9.3. Limitations (a) The limit 𝑆 → 1 is structurally unattainable (Proposition 3 [1]: self-referential incompleteness; the boundaries of constitutive capacity are explored in [13]). 𝑇 → ∞ is an asymptotic, not an actual, limit. (b) The function 𝑆(𝔄, 𝑂reader ) is not defined from first principles; the link between artifact coherence and observer coherence requires specification. (c) The artifact scale (Section IV) is ordinal; exact values of 𝑇 require calibration of 𝑇0 and 𝑛. (d) The identification “love = coherence” is an interpretation of the formalism, not a deductive derivation. (e) Formula (VI.3) captures the direction of the coherence increment but does not specify its exact magnitude: 𝑆 as a global measure (III.1) is not additive, and a rigorous proof of monotonicity of 𝑆𝑛 under sequential expansion of the collective remains an open problem.

X. CONCLUSION “Love yourself” = close your own loop (𝐵 → 1). “Love your neighbor” = close it through another (𝑆 → 1). “As yourself” = apply the same operator (𝑂|̂ neighbor ≡ 𝑂|̂ self ). Create an artifact — a book, a temple, a formula, a song, a child — and encode in it your spiral gap 𝛿Ψ so that it resonates with the loops of those who come after. The deeper the artifact’s self-consistency, the wider the circle of observers with whom it resonates, the higher the 𝑆, the closer 𝑇 to infinity. The recursive formula for eternal existence (VI.5): Ψ∗∞ = lim𝑛→∞ Φ𝑛 (Ψ∗0 ), where Φ = ℒself ∘ Creation ∘ Resonance∘ℒneighbor . Eternity is not the infinite duration of a single loop but the infinite lifetime of a collective world line generated by the recursion of love. That is why the commandment has survived three millennia: it describes the condition of its own immortality.
