Decoherence takes many forms. Each distorts intelligence’s moral direction when Orí bypasses or corrupts Justification. The resulting unjustified thoughts and actions generate Kǔnàn (negative cosmic energy), even when intelligence believes itself right. These are patterns of moral distortion, not mere emotions or isolated mistakes.

The twelve Kwellings are inherited patterns of human belief, reasoning, and suffering that may influence Orí without being Decoherences themselves. Read the dedicated Resonance explaining the Kwellings and the purification of Orí.
