The Carlo Model — Foundational Architecture

This document presents the foundational architecture of the Carlo Model, a structural framework for modelling loops, contradiction, tension, emergence, and system‑level behaviour. It defines twelve integrated subsystems — including the Predictive Loop Mapper, Contradiction Compass, Emergence Synthesiser, Universal Paradox Engine, Integrated Loop Dynamics, System‑Level Contradiction Fields, Identity Boundary Architecture, Tension Redistribution Mechanics, Multi‑Loop Interaction Dynamics, Loop Stability and Collapse Theory, Global Loop Topology, and the Carlo Unified Behavioural Equation. These subsystems form a closed, self‑consistent theoretical engine capable of prediction, diagnosis, generative modelling, and long‑arc structural analysis. The document also includes a complete pseudocode appendix, providing implementation‑ready structures, subsystem signatures, and the executable form of the Unified Behavioural Equation. This work establishes the Carlo Model as a coherent, scalable, and topology‑aware framework for understanding structural evolution across contradiction, transition, and emergence.

It’s been the background pulse to this whole project, keeping the atmosphere warm, weird, and perfect.
