Wave-Coherence Scoring: Phase-Aware Alternative to Cosine Similarity

I’m not a developer or mathematician — I’m a systems administrator. I had an intuition about how meaning might organise itself through phase relationships and wave mechanics rather than vector distances. I collaborated with AI (Claude) to formalise and test those ideas, and the result aligned with published research by Listopad (2025) — Wave-Based Semantic Memory with Resonance-Based Retrieval (arXiv:2509.09691).
The core idea: semantic relationships encoded as harmonic waveforms on circular embeddings, with retrieval through constructive interference rather than cosine similarity.

Sharing it here in case anyone working in embedding spaces or retrieval finds it interesting or wants to take it further.
