About This Project

Alignment Theory is a cross-domain framework investigating how adaptive systems remain robust or become fragile depending on how their capacity-forming functions are carried. The project began with an internal/external alignment distinction and has since been refined into a more precise account centered on participatory capacity, co-regulation, scaffolding, distributed competence, and substitution. The archive contains both the current framework and the earlier formulations from which it developed.

The project does not claim a finished doctrine or a universal method. It offers a framework for tracing support, dependency, and participation across domains, one that can be clarified, stress-tested, translated, and corrected where necessary.

The current site is organized so new readers can enter through a short teaching path, move into the revised framework center, test the framework across domains, then explore the applied branches and archive.
