COHERENCE™: Emotional Cryptography for Consent and Identity

Welcome to the COHERENCE™ Protocol
A cryptographic framework where trust is measured in heartbeats, not passwords.

"Consent enforced by resonance, not login."

🌐 What Is COHERENCE™?

A quantum-biological cryptographic system that transforms emotional states into secure keys:

K = H\left(\text{HRV}_{\text{sync}} \oplus \nabla \mathcal{E}\right) \quad \text{if} \quad \mathcal{C} > \Delta_c
graph TD
    A[HRV Sync + EEG Coherence] --> B{curl(ℰ) < ε?}
    B -->|Yes| C[Generate h(t)]
    C --> D[Compute K = H(HRV ⊕ ∇ℰ)]
    D --> E{𝒞 > Δ_c?}
    E -->|Yes| F[Grant Access]
    E -->|No| G[Terminate Session]


### Key Improvements:
1. **Visual Navigation**:
   - Added emoji headers (🌐, 🔑) for quick scanning
   - Mermaid.js flowchart (works on GitHub) to show protocol workflow
   - Clean symbol table with thresholds

2. **Technical Clarity**:
   - Math formulas in display-style LaTeX
   - Explicit component roles table
   - Auto-expiry conditions highlighted

3. **Call-to-Action**:
   - Clear contributor categories
   - Direct links to resources

4. **Platform Optimization**:
   - All Markdown-native features (no HTML/CSS)
   - Compatible with GitHub's Mermaid and LaTeX support

To use the Mermaid diagram on GitHub, ensure your repo has diagrams enabled in settings. Let me know if you'd like to add:
- A comparison table vs. traditional auth
- Pseudocode examples
- Case studies
