The Dual Operating Models (DOM): A Species-Scale Concurrent Causal Condition

This classification identifies a species-scale causal condition in which two co-existing operating models are active within humans (DOM). One Model is the Natural Operating Logic (NOL) of the species - developmentally aligned, supporting intrinsic developmental trajectories, emergent capacities, and coherent calibration with reality. The Second Model is an Introduced Operating Logic (IOL) - embedded, constraining; and redirects, limits, and interferes with emergent and developmental processes. The interaction between these two operating models generates structural tension, systemic limits, competing and compensatory dynamics, and constraints on the developmental and advancing capacities of the species. This condition is systemic, species-wide, and manifests across all layers of human operation, including cognition, social organisation, institutional formation, governance, knowledge production, conceptualisation, value systems, and power structures. The classification is diagnostic and descriptive, rather than prescriptive and corrective. It identifies the concurrent operational dynamics, and their persistent systemic effects.
