I’m not 100% sure on the definition of coherentism, but I reject attempts to define truth in terms of coherence whilst also thinking that our epistemological process should be primarily about seeking coherence (I want to leave myself an out here to acknowledge that sometimes forcing coherence can take us further away from the truth).
I guess when we’re searching for coherence we need to make decision about which nodes we let update other nodes, so this seems to provide room for some nodes to be considered more foundational than other nodes.

I think of truth in terms of correspondence. Of course, we don’t actually have access to the territory.
Phenomenal experience with external reality.
Phenomenal experience is technically a subset of reality.
