Key result
Baseline-Dominant Non-Reciprocal Regulation (BDNR) is introduced as a descriptive physiological model characterizing regulatory stability without reliance on ongoing reciprocal exchange.
Presents a completed conceptual-physiological framework for describing regulatory stability under non-exchange conditions.
Hypothesis-generating for regulatory stability; leaves open validation before any clinical consideration.
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. This version (v1.0) is canonically locked. All core definitions, scope limits, model descriptions, and falsifiability conditions are fixed as published.
