In communicative systems, coherence does not arise from shared meaning but from rhythmic alignment. Spectral coupling describes this alignment across frequencies—how patterns of oscillation, delay, and amplitude between subsystems interact to produce stability or distortion. It is not the transmission of messages but the entrainment of their timing and resonance. Within a field logic perspective, each communicative field carries its own harmonic structure: a distributed ensemble of oscillations that, when coupled, generate larger systemic coherence. Disinformation, in this sense, is not falsehood but spectral interference—a phase distortion that shifts the balance between harmonics, creating illusions of certainty and rupture alike.
As Norbert Wiener observed, control and communication are inseparable from feedback. Spectral coupling extends this insight into the frequency domain: systems are bound not by causal chains but by the shared periodicities that structure their behaviour. Stability is a matter of modulated resonance. To intervene in disinformation, therefore and for (salient) instance, is to tune the field—not by censoring content, but by recalibrating the spectral relationships that allow destructive feedbacks to amplify. Entropy becomes both the noise that sustains adaptation and the boundary that prevents collapse into synchrony.
