What Is SOUL?
A science grounded in love. A love grounded in science.
SOUL, the Science Of Unitive Love, is a transdisciplinary framework co-founded by cosmologist Jude Currivan and systems architect Grant Storry. Its central thesis: love is not merely a sentimental human emotion nor moral ideal. It is a foundational, organizing principle of reality itself.
Drawing on quantum-informed cosmology, neuroscience, evolutionary biology, systems theory, biofield research, Indigenous and universal wisdom teachings, and lived human experience, SOUL proposes that love is Coherence in motion: a vibrational, structural, and meaningfully in-formed signature of our evolving, sentient Universe.
SOUL operates at a civilizational inflection point: the shift from a worldview of separation to one of interbeing. It offers a scientifically grounded and spiritually resonant lens through which to reimagine human purpose, regenerative design, and participation in the evolutionary force that governs the unfolding of all Life.
Key Concepts
Coherence
SOUL’s North Star, distinct from its ordinary usage. Coherence (capital C) is the measurable quality of relational integrity within and between systems: interactions that generate, sustain, and amplify Life-affirming order. A dynamic condition in which informational relationships across scales self-organize and harmonize. The capacity of any system to reliably transform energy, information, and intention into wholistically regenerative outcomes. Coherence is experienced, directed, and felt in human biology as Love. Note the living wordplay: Co/here/nce: to be Coherent is to be here, fully present and attuned.
In-tropy
Jude Currivan’s expansion of, and complementary geometry to, entropy. Where entropy describes the energetic microstates of a system, in-tropy describes its accumulated meaningful in-formational content. The evolutionary arc of our Universe is an inexorable increase in in-tropy, that is, greater relational complexity, interdependence, and meaning. Love, as the highest-frequency human emotional state, attunes Coherence into this evolutionary in-tropic accumulation.
The Cosmic Hologram
Our Universe as a holographically encoded, in-formationally structured unitive whole. Its 4D spacetime appearance manifested from a 2D informational boundary, pixelated at the Planck scale. All of reality is relational, all the way down to its very small nested beginning as described by the Planck scale.
