ΔΦ FIELD DEGRADATION IN AGING: Coherence Loss as Electrostatic Collapse

This Version 2.0 manuscript introduces a field-theoretic aging model rooted in the Mitchell Equation (ΔΦ = ρ × v). It formally redefines aging as the progressive collapse of electrostatic coherence between regulatory subsystems, rather than isolated component failure. A mathematical ΔΦ coherence metric is developed, incorporating coupling degradation and stochastic amplification to explain aging's nonlinear transition toward systemic failure. Compatible with existing models yet unified by a universal substrate law, this framework positions biological aging as a lawful collapse of shared field influence.
