Track FC: Coherence-Trust Integration Attacks (Attacks 269-274)
Attacks on the boundary between coherence metrics (from physics/consciousness
research) and trust tensors. Coherence-based identity creates new attack surfaces
when it gates access permissions.
Reference: /home/dp/ai-workspace/web4/adversarials/coherence_threshold_gaming.md
Key insight: Any metric that gates access creates gaming incentives.
Coherence is valuable because it's physics-validated, but that doesn't
make it immune to gaming.
