Experiment 8 – Infrastructure and electricity: validating ISHEA through blackouts
New York 2003, Brazil 2009, India 2012 and the European gas crisis read as failures of purpose, transmission and resilience: infrastructure collapsing much as cognition does under stress.
This dossier examines major blackouts and energy crises (New York 2003, Brazil 2009, India 2012, EU gas crisis 2021–2022) as systemic failures of Purpose (K), Transmission (T), and Resilience (R). Using IDCS as an analytical proxy, the study validates the ISHEA–KTR–TACC–IHC model by showing how infrastructure collapses mirror biological and cognitive breakdowns under systemic stress.

The sunflower and energy
A short note on how the sunflower solves the problem of capturing energy through geometry and rhythm, and why nature still reads as the most exacting manual of energy efficiency.

ICSD: cognitive state dynamics (in preparation)
A repository in preparation for ICSD, the cognitive state dynamics model; it opens the space where the materials of the EICI + TACC framework will be deposited as the research advances.

Cognitive State Dynamics Model (ICSD): a state-based view of innovation
A theory of innovation as a cognitive phase transition: joining the EICI criterion to the TACC cycle, it distinguishes four internal regimes an organization can occupy before it innovates.
