Relational Systems Theory (RST)

The Hidden Simplicity of Complex Systems

Relational System Theory (RST) explores how simple, consistent relationships give rise to coherent (even intelligent) complexity. Instead of seeing systems as collections of parts, RST looks at the relations between them as the true building blocks of order. Across geometry, markets, cognition and AI, the same principle returns: When relationships align in proportion, coherence emerges. RST forms the theoretical backbone of Ratio Science, a way of understanding space, time and intelligence through proportion, rhythm and resonance. It connects the models I developed and AI-den into one relational framework:

• Spatial coherence: how proportion gives form its equilibrium and harmony.
• Temporal coherence: how rhythm governs momentum, rotation, and systemic balance.
• Cognitive coherence: how structure and resonance generate meaning and understanding.

Together, they describe how structure becomes sense, and how simplicity scales.
