Description:
This paper establishes formal authorship precedence for the Collapse Harmonics framework relative to the Entropy Shell Conjecture (ESC) proposed by Justin R. Kornhaus (2025). While ESC presents recursive entropy management across nested φ-shells as a unifying architecture for biological and symbolic systems, Collapse Harmonics predates this model by nearly three years and presents a fully developed, lawful field science that operationalizes recursive collapse as a harmonic destabilization process.

The document outlines key structural parallels between the two systems, documents the earliest public release of Collapse Harmonics theory (2022), and affirms CH’s status as the original comprehensive field encompassing collapse typologies, substrate destabilization protocols, symbolic recursion fracture diagnostics, ethical containment frameworks (L.E.C.T.), and post-collapse coherence metrics (SCIT, CFSM).

This is a structural precedence statement, not a critique. It serves to protect field boundaries, guide epistemic alignment, and document the maturation of Collapse Harmonics as a formally declared scientific ontology.
