Key result
The Baseline-Dominant Non-Reciprocal Regulation (BDNR) model was introduced as a descriptive physiological framework characterizing nervous system stability without reliance on reciprocal exchange.
Presents a conceptual-physiological framework for describing nervous system stability without reciprocal exchange, intended for classificatory and descriptive purposes.
This work introduces Baseline-Dominant Non-Reciprocal Regulation (BDNR), a descriptive physiological model characterising a regulatory state in which baseline nervous system stability is maintained without reliance on ongoing reciprocal exchange, justification, reassurance, or responsiveness. The model is non-prescriptive and non-normative. It does not assess individuals, diagnose conditions, evaluate wellbeing, or propose interventions, training, or system design recommendations. BDNR is presented as a completed conceptual–physiological framework with explicit scope limits and falsifiability conditions. Its purpose is classificatory and descriptive, enabling external comparison and analytical clarity without applied use. Version 1.1 adds binding interpretive appendices clarifying misuse prevention and theory non-address. Core definitions, scope limits, model descriptions, and falsifiability conditions remain unchanged. This work is canonically locked. All core definitions, scope limits, model descriptions, and falsifiability conditions are fixed as published. This work is subject to the Irwin Canonical Corpus Freeze Declaration (2026)
