This article formalizes the Operational Model of the Cognosystemic Narrative System (CNS) as a canonical component of the Cognosystemic Theory of Human Psychosocial Relational Construction (TCCR), with the aim of moving beyond purely structural descriptions and establishing a replicable specification of its architecture, dynamics, and regulatory mechanisms. The CNS is conceptualized as an open system of meanings that integrates experiential inputs, affective-perceptual modulations, and contextual conditions, transforming them into narrative configurations with claims to validity and observable relational effects within the Cognosystem. Methodologically, the study adopts a theoretical-analytical formalization design aimed at identifying functional invariants and deriving minimal operational propositions from the system’s internal organization. As a result, a stratified architecture organized into concentric layers is proposed, consisting of: (a) a Propositional core, which concentrates the central assertions held as true or necessary; (b) an Evaluative body, responsible for transforming inputs into reasons, criteria, and justifications; and (c) an Epistemic boundary, operationalized as epistemic attitude, which regulates the admissibility of evidence, the treatment of counterevidence, and the degree of revisability of the core. This architecture is articulated with a teleological-pragmatic module that distinguishes and links Narrative purpose and Narrative function, thereby enabling the analysis of the relationship between declared intentionality and the relational effects produced. It is concluded that the model provides a canonical framework for research and intervention consistent with the TCCR by analytically differentiating the structure, flow, and regulation of the CNS, enabling the formulation of testable hypotheses, and guiding change strategies centered on second-order regulators, without reducing the narrative phenomenon to isolated contents or explicit intentionalities.
