The SymC Foundations repository contains the core theoretical works underlying the Symmetry of Criticality (SymC) framework. SymC describes a universal stability structure centered on the critically damped boundary χ = 1, governing adaptive behavior across quantum, biological, cosmological, and informational systems.
This repository includes only the foundational theory papers. Domain-specific applications (medicine, markets, seismology, oncology, cognition) are maintained separately.

χ = γ / (2|ω|)
At the critical value χ = 1, systems reach:
- maximal information efficiency
- coalescence of propagator poles
- fastest monotone relaxation
- the transition between underdamped and overdamped regimes
Stable adaptive behavior occurs within 0.8 ≤ χ ≤ 1.0, while deviations lead to instability or rigidity.
This structure appears across quantum dissipation, cosmology, inheritance systems, and adaptive control, arising from general linear stability principles.
