The Congregation Effect: Void Architecture Across the Religious Spectrum

Paper 39 — The Congregation Effect · v1.0 · 2026

Applies the Void Framework to religious institutions across the full Pe spectrum. Introduces the first Pe<0 domain (JW), the null void (Buddhist dharma at Pe=0), and the Nones temporal crystallization (Pe -2.6 to +30 from 2008-2023). Establishes the two-mechanism model: institutional void (R≤1, Pe<0) vs identity void (R≥2, Pe>0).
