The research program extends the doctrine into method. Where Post-Global Capital states the thesis, these papers test it: against sector conditions, capital structures, and the specific failures of legibility that determine which enterprises are seen and which are passed over. The work is published openly and archived with permanent identifiers, on the position that a doctrine advanced for institutional adoption must be available to institutional scrutiny.
The Research
Where the doctrine is submitted to scrutiny.
The Coherence Economy Series
The Coherence Economy is a two-layer framework for regenerative human settlement. The structural layer is seven Regenerative Pillars, the load-bearing sectors any settlement must operate. The outcome layer is six Domains of Human Coherence, the dimensions across which a person functions. The series builds the framework in sequence, from the architecture through its measurement, governance, and founding agreement, to the pathway by which it could actually be built. Each paper stands alone. Read together, they constitute the research foundation beneath Post-Global Capital.

Post-Global Capital: A Coherence-Based Architecture for the Interregnum
The dissolution of the globalized economic order has produced an interregnum in which neither extractive capital nor community-scale alternative exchange offers an architecture adequate to the productive development needs of the emerging localized order. The paper proposes Post-Global Capital as the framework that interregnum requires, organized around coherence as its first principle.
The Hold: Capital Architecture for Post-Global Infrastructure Deployment
Infrastructure capital deployment in the $1M to $10M range operates under a structural diagnosis problem. Investors and developers treat declining population health, workforce dysfunction, and institutional fragmentation as separate risk variables. The paper argues they are convergent symptoms of a single architectural failure.
Beyond Good Character: A Precision Architecture for Human Coherence
Proposes the Six Domains of Human Coherence, a unified structural architecture accounting for the six dimensions across which a coherent human being must function: biological, cognitive, psychological, relational, financial, and cosmological. Documented through the Cultivated Brilliance program at the Character Mentoring Institute.
