Diagnostic Manual explores governance visibility issues in system design and operation, suggesting new frameworks.
MAMI Manual v1.0 presents the source manual for the diagnostic practical theory of Structural Exposure within MAMI Theory, defined as Meta-Architecture of Mind and Invisibility. The Manual introduces Structural Exposure as a governance visibility problem: a condition in which persistent misalignment between formal system design and actual operation remains invisible or insufficiently visible within ordinary governance, compliance, performance-monitoring, or institutional review structures, while cumulative absorption effort by human actors sustains system functioning. The framework is diagnostic and descriptive. It provides bounded methods for identifying and describing structural misalignment, hidden structural loss, cumulative absorption effort, governance-level visibility gaps, divergence between prescribed procedures and real-world operation, and recurring patterns that remain below ordinary escalation thresholds. This version is released as Version 1.0 — Draft for Publication Readiness Review. It has not undergone formal peer review or empirical validation. The canonical citable record is the Zenodo DOI: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.21252567. The Manual should not be described as peer reviewed, empirically validated, institutionally approved, professionally endorsed, operationally established, or validated for predictive, legal, clinical, regulatory, compliance, disciplinary, or institutional decision-making use.
