The Informational Divergence Collapse Law states that under Laplacian smoothing, the divergence of an informational field decreases monotonically until collapse. Divergence measures outgoing flow intensity — and smoothing suppresses these imbalances in a strictly decreasing trajectory.
Divergence collapses consistently as the field approaches equilibrium.
This behaviour aligns with diffusion physics, informational stability principles, and gradient-flow PDE theory.

Divergence operator: div(A) = A[i+1] - A[i-1] Energy: E = Σ (div(A))² Evolution: A ← A - α div(A) Result: E(t) decreases monotonically.
Numerically, divergence energy collapses smoothly under each iteration, confirming the law.
In Fourier space, divergence corresponds to multiplying by ik.
div(A)ₖ = i k Aₖ
Thus divergence energy scales as k² |Aₖ|², which collapses rapidly under diffusion.
Divergence collapse corresponds to descending the divergence energy landscape.
High divergence modes (large k) vanish earliest, enforcing stable smoothness.
Divergence collapse corresponds to decreasing directional bias in an informational field.
