My Theories

The work I develop and present on this website is grounded in a small number of foundational theories that I have developed.
These theories reflect how I think about complex systems, how coherence emerges, and how it degrades over time.

They shape how I approach explanation before application, and understanding before action.
Rather than offering solutions or predictions, they define the conditions under which interpretation remains meaningful and responsible.

These theories do not aim to predict outcomes or prescribe actions.
They exist to clarify structure, legitimacy, and limits, especially in environments where confidence often outpaces understanding.

Each theory addresses a different layer of this problem:

• Relational Systems Theory (RST) explores how coherence emerges from relationships within systems and how structural stability is sustained or erodes.
• The Coherence Integrity Principle (CIP) defines the epistemic boundary at which interpretation and decision-making remain legitimate.

The models presented elsewhere on this site are derived from these theoretical foundations.
They translate abstract structure into practical frameworks.
The theories themselves remain prior to tools, methods, and outcomes.

Their purpose is not to increase certainty.
It is to clarify when certainty should no longer be assumed.
