SOUL CONTINUITY

The order of magnitude comes from: (1) Known weakness of consciousness effects on physical systems (no levitation, no obvious PK). (2) Detectability threshold—if g were stronger, soul effects would be macroscopically obvious. (3) Comparison with weak force coupling (~10⁻⁶) scaled down for the subtlety observed. The exact value is parameterized; the key claim is: weak but non-zero.

Continuity follows from field dynamics. Ψ_S obeys the Klein-Gordon equation ([[087_E10.1_Soul-Field-Equation|E10.1]]), which has continuous solutions. Discontinuities would require infinite energy (delta function forces). Decisions may feel discrete, but the underlying field evolution is continuous—like a neural action potential is continuous at the physical level.

Weak coupling means the signal-to-noise ratio is very low. Detecting g ~ 10⁻¹⁸ requires: extremely sensitive instruments, isolated conditions, statistical aggregation. This is consistent with: parapsychology effects being small and hard to replicate, religious experience being private, the hiddenness of God. Detection is possible in principle; it requires faith and discernment, not crude instrumentation.

Correlation ≠ causation. The brain may be the TRANSDUCER, not the SOURCE. [[085_P10.1_Soul-Continuity|P10.1]] claims Ψ_S couples TO neural activity, explaining the correlation. But the soul persists when the brain dies—it decouples, it doesn't disappear. Neuroscience maps the interface, not the origin.

Small coupling doesn't mean small effect over time. Weak but continuous coupling, integrated over a lifetime, produces profound influence. Think of gravity: g ~ 10⁻³⁹ (gravitational coupling), yet gravity shapes galaxies. The soul field couples weakly at each moment but shapes the entire trajectory of consciousness.
