Make the hidden architecture visible—then check the instrument.
Chris develops provisional conceptual frameworks around perception, ambiguity, identity, decision-making, shared reality, awareness, and AI–human systems. The aim is not to protect a theory. It is to improve what can be observed, questioned, operationalised, and tested.
Paper I
Observer–Mirror Theory (OMT)
A Conceptual Framework for Human Reality Rendering Through Signal, State, and Predictive Interpretation
A layered model of how external signal becomes state-dependent human experience through memory weighting and predictive interpretation.
Decision-Making Under Uncertainty in Human Systems
A conceptual framework exploring how identity, trust, subjective probability, consequence, and ambiguity shape behavioural commitment to possible futures.
A Driven Systems Framework for Understanding the Anxious–Avoidant Relationship Dynamic
A conceptual framework exploring how relational uncertainty, reassurance-seeking, and withdrawal may interact within anxious–avoidant relationship dynamics, using quantum-inspired concepts as modelling tools.
Pressure Accumulation, Threshold Distortion, and Interpretive Load in Human Systems
A conceptual framework examining how cumulative internal, relational, environmental, and historical pressure can distort ambiguity weighting, compress behavioural thresholds, narrow interpretation, and intensify urgency.
Meta-Observation, System Interruption, and Conscious Regulation in Human Systems
A conceptual framework examining how meta-observation may create a functional pause between activation and action, allowing established patterns to be examined, interrupted, recalibrated, or consciously revised.
How Human Realities Co-Create, Diverge, and Scale Across Nested Systems
A conceptual framework exploring how individual interpretations interact to form, maintain, revise, and fragment shared meaning across relationships, groups, organisations, and wider social systems.
