About the work
This essay presents the Limited-Precision Universal Coherence Scale (UC Scale) as the first operational module of the Universal Coherence Project, proposing a universal structural metric for comparing heterogeneous phenomena (physical, biological, social, symbolic, and philosophical) without imposing disciplinary reductionisms. The UC Scale is defined as a heuristic tool: it does not seek to replace specialized metrics, but to complement them through a cross-disciplinary reading aimed at reducing interpretive noise and validated by the criterion of “fruit” (clarity and stability without violence). Its distinctive principle is relational measurement with respect to an ideal and unattainable asymptotic center, used as a structural reference rather than as an operable datum. The essay describes the scale’s architecture, its Coherent Scaling Law, and basic modes of use, including applied examples in physical and complex phenomena. Finally, it develops immediate practical applications based on a reproducible conversion of magnitudes into UC values within an operational range of fixed precision, incorporating fractal/self-nested reading and calculation tools to support procedural consistency and interdisciplinary collaboration. It concludes with future lines of work oriented toward mathematical formalizations and quantitative simulations, along with an open invitation to community-based refinement.
