Empirical Foundations and Scientific Plausibility of TCCR: An Integrative Review of Phenomenological–Constructivist, Cognitive–Narrative, and Ecological–Systemic Evidence

This article presents an integrative review aimed at assessing the scientific plausibility and empirical foundations of the Cognosystemic Theory of Human Psychosocial Relational Construction (TCCR) as a transdisciplinary meta-framework. This work does not provide direct empirical corroboration of TCCR postulates, nor does it introduce canonical constructs, protocols, or procedures; its scope is limited to delineating baseline plausibility conditions of the theoretical scaffolding that informed the development of TCCR and to outlining a future research agenda for empirical testing. The synthesis organizes evidence along three axes: (a) phenomenology, hermeneutics, and social constructionism, with emphasis on lived experience and the social construction of public problems; (b) cognitive–narrative evidence related to processes of meaning-making and narrative interventions (e.g., NET and NECT); and (c) ecological–systemic and dynamic approaches to human development, including the PPCT model and proposals for an autopoietic reading of cognosystems. Additionally, computational measurement approaches to memetic diffusion are examined as an indirect approximation to the dynamics of meaning circulation. The results converge in supporting the multiscalar and relational character of meaning-making and justify the use of Cognosystemic Narrative Systems (CNS) as the analytical unit for research and intervention in Social Work from a TCCR perspective.
