This page gathers papers, essays, conceptual writings, and developing frameworks from across my wider body of work.

Some pieces are formal publications hosted on platforms such as Zenodo; others are exploratory or in-progress texts that contribute to the wider research field.

The Coherence Cycle: A Cross-Scale Process Model of Stabilisation, Destabilisation, and Reorganisation in Human Systems

This paper introduces the Coherence Cycle as a practical process model for understanding how human systems move through coherence, decoherence, and recoherence across personal, relational, organisational, and wider systemic contexts. It argues that disruption is not always failure, but may instead be part of how living systems reorganise. Drawing on dynamical systems theory, allostatic load, predictive processing, process-based therapy, and adaptive-cycle thinking, the paper offers a phase-sensitive framework aimed at real-world use.

Zenodo Archive

Alongside the on-site research archive, selected writings are also published through Zenodo as part of the wider publication record. This includes papers, concept notes, and other developing research outputs connected to field-based psychology, coherence, consciousness, and related areas of inquiry.

Other External Archives

As work is published through additional platforms and archives, they will be listed here. This section is intended to reflect the wider publication footprint of the research as it develops over time.
