This paper reframes materials science through the MID/QC lens, interpreting matter as coherence field architecture rather than atomic composition. Mechanical, electrical, thermal, and magnetic properties emerge from tension geometry, coherence well depth, and torsion channel alignment. The paper introduces coherence native materials, tension engineered lattices, and metastable coherence structures, establishing substrate alignment as the governing principle of material behavior. Topics include coherence well networks, torsion neutral conductivity, metastable phase control, substrate native superconductivity, and failure as coherence boundary collapse. This work completes the first paper of the Applied Substrate Engineering cluster.
