Summary
AI-generated from the abstractConsciousness and complexity across scales arise from a recurring structural sequence: differentiation first, then relation, then synergy, then stabilization. This pattern appears from cosmological emergence to biological coordination to conscious awareness, without requiring panpsychism or purpose. The paper reframes consciousness as coordinated multiplicity stabilized across relational fields and offers a systems-based account of how navigable reality becomes possible.

Abstract
The Cosmological Ground of Synergy extends Synergistic Consciousness Theory (SCT) into relational cosmology. The paper argues that differentiation is the precondition for relationality, relationality for synergy, and synergy for navigable complexity and consciousness. From cosmological emergence to biological coordination and conscious awareness, the same structural sequence — differentiation, relation, synergy, stabilization — appears across scales without implying panpsychism or teleology. The work reframes consciousness as coordinated multiplicity stabilized across relational fields and proposes a systems-based account of how navigable reality becomes possible.
