The Cognosystemic Theory of Human Psychosocial Relational Construction (TCCR in Spanish) is advanced as a unified framework for contemporary Social Work, aimed at understanding and intervening in the narrative organization of human meaning. From a relational and ecosystemic perspective, it delineates its object around the production, stabilization, and contestation of meaning through Cognosystemic Narrative Systems (CNS) situated within a sociohistorical Cognosystem—specific to a given society and historical period—that distributes legitimacies, establishes thresholds of plausibility, and structures narrative hierarchies. The proposal integrates contributions from phenomenology and hermeneutics; constructivism and social constructionism; studies of power and hegemony; systems theory and autopoiesis; second-order cybernetics; language and memetics; developmental ecology; and theories of psychosocial change and narrativity, articulated within a multilevel reading (micro–meso/exo–macro). On this basis, the article formalizes the CNS as the minimal unit of meaning, describing its structure (octet), its concentric basal architecture of Core–Evaluative Body–Epistemic Boundary, and its life cycle. It also presents an initial program of hypotheses (H1–H15), develops the concept of cognosystemic narrative hierarchy, and proposes a typology of cognosystemic friction and change through trajectories and Beta–Alpha–Delta phases. In addition, it introduces the concept of the cognosystemic meme as a unit of condensation and transport of meaning, relevant for understanding dynamics of diffusion, polarization, and narrative reconfiguration. Finally, the article specifies implications for assessment and intervention (without protocolization), provides an analytical classification of CNSs (Table 1), and delineates scope, limitations, and a proposed research agenda oriented toward the gradual operationalization of the framework, including cartographies of legitimation, analyses of frictions, and the study of memetic circulation.
