ISHEA Δ±1 Coherence Framework: master architecture document (v1.0, 2025)
By Carlos J. Pérez Pulido · ISHEA Institute ·
Founding document of the ISHEA Δ±1 framework: canonical definitions, unified language and a cross-domain map. Biological, economic and astrophysical systems are read through one index, EICI = E × I / F
Preprint — Manuscript deposited on OSF. Not peer-reviewed.
This repository contains the Master Architecture Document of the ISHEA Δ±1 Coherence Framework (International System for Human-Ecological Advancement), developed by Carlos J. Pérez Pulido (ORCID: 0009-0004-1822-4798).
The ISHEA framework proposes that all complex adaptive systems — biological, ecological, socioeconomic, astrophysical, organizational, and temporal — operate under a single governing structure formalized as the Energy-Information-Coherence Index:
EICI = E × I / F
Where E represents available energy, I represents informational structure, and F represents systemic friction. Three system states emerge: Δ+1 (coherence), CI=0 (reorganization threshold), and Δ−1 (collapse).
This Master Document provides: (1) canonical definitions and unified language for all ISHEA outputs; (2) cross-domain application map across seven domains with domain-specific E, I, F instantiations; (3) the complete active publication portfolio including papers under review at Scientific Reports, Chaos Solitons & Fractals, Ecological Modelling, and European Journal of Futures Research, plus a conference abstract submitted to Caltech/IPAC Roman 2026; (4) a five-level conceptual hierarchy governing the relationship between the universal law, system states, domain instantiations, empirical findings, and applied implications; and (5) an open research agenda for future empirical and theoretical development.
This document is intended as the primary citeable reference for the ISHEA framework across all domain-specific publications.

Narrative Is Not Trust: Without Trust, Narrative Loses Its Power
A warning to the corporate and political world: storytelling cannot make up for a weak architecture. Without the structural trust that sustains it, any narrative loses its power.

Managing from the Warehouse: Biophysical Management Without a Lab (3/4)
No instruments, no laboratory, only direct observation: weeks of applying biophysical management on a logistics floor, with results too consistent to ignore.

The Response Is Not Cultural, It Is Biological (1/4)
The body follows the rhythm before the mind decides. The starting point of the series: our response to the environment is explained by biology, not by culture.
