Theoretical framework demonstrates a multidimensional modeling architecture across complex systems, suggesting a universal meta-structure for resolving fundamental tensions.
We present the 2D Heuristic of the Intelligible—a universal lens for diagnosing any system defined by a fundamental tension. The heuristic models any such system as two irreducible axes, a dynamic interface, a projection mechanism, a Lagrangian flow, and stabilizing attractors. It is portable across domains: physics, consciousness, AI, ethics, clinical psychology, and everyday life. The heuristic is self-referential, generative, and open. It does not replace domain-specific knowledge—it provides a meta-structure for engaging with it. We offer it as a foundational tool for any curious mind.
