KCT-HRLE Critical Analysis Method: A Six-Stage Transdisciplinary Framework for Ethical and Structural Evaluation

A six-stage analytical method synthesizing Kintsugi Cosmology Theory (KCT) and Harm Reduction Life Ethics (HRLE) into a domain-agnostic critical analysis framework. The method proceeds through identification of the system or phenomenon under analysis, structural mapping of harm dynamics, ethical evaluation through HRLE principles, KCT pattern recognition (rupture–Loss–reintegration–emergence cycles), synthesis of structural and ethical findings, and articulation of actionable directions toward reduced harm. Includes boundary conditions addressing co-optation of repair narratives, asymmetric self-application, and the falsifiability of domain-agnosticism. Applicable across domains including healthcare policy, institutional ethics, education, technology, environmental policy, and material/natural sciences. Part of the KCT Recursive Package.
