Collective Observer (Earth Cluster)
Definition
A collective observer in ODTOE is a cluster of individual observers whose configurations align to produce a shared reality — the «here and now» as the region of maximum configuration overlap. Earth itself functions as such a cluster, and emergent meta-observers (egregores) carry their own B_meta, A_meta and H_meta.

Observer (ODTOE)
In ODTOE an observer is any object parametrized by the triad (B, A, H) — cognitive coherence, attention/action and history — capable of applying an observation operator Ô. Observers range from quarks (d<0) and atoms (d=0) to cells, humans and collective clusters.
Team Coherence (Five Roles)
ODTOE shows that the minimal sustainable team is five people in five roles — Visionary, Operator, Evaluator, Injector, Stabilizer — because the loss of any single role still preserves the coherence S of the group. Smaller teams collapse on member loss; larger teams add redundancy but not new structural roles.
Collision of Realities
Collision of realities in ODTOE is the situation where two large groups of observers form incompatible configurations of reality, producing structural conflict rather than a mere disagreement of opinions. The mathematical analysis treats it as overlap-failure between configuration clusters and predicts the conditions under which one configuration absorbs, repels or annihilates the other.

Supplements to the ODTOE Corpus: Anti-Coherence, Fractional Dimensionality, Egregore and Consciousness Oscillation
Systematization of ODTOE extensions affecting sixteen articles. Destructive collective probability P_destr(E)=1−∏(1−σᵢᵏ) for anti-coherent clusters. Fractional dimensionality hypothesis d∈R: intermediate values correspond to unstable transitional states (sleep, trance, altered consciousness). Threshold permeability P(d→d+1|S)=Θ(S−Sᶜ)·[1−exp(−(S−Sᶜ)/δS)]. Egregore as emergent meta-observer O_meta with B_meta, A_meta, H_meta. Sleep-wake dimensionality oscillation d_eff(t)=d₀+Δd·f(t). Theorem: T→∞ requires dd/dt>0, otherwise coherent stagnation trap (F→0). Zero adjustable parameters.
