Towards a new ontology of health: the Shield-Algorithm and the quantification of biological terrain coherence

The Shield-Algorithm Framework Vision and Purpose The Shield-Algorithm represents an innovative bio-mathematical architecture conceived as a methodological bridge to fill the ontological and diagnostic gap between Ayurvedic Systems Biology and Modern Western Biophysics. This framework transcends the limitations of conventional binary diagnostics (healthy/pathological) by introducing the Biological Terrain Index (BTI), a composite scalar indicator for the quantification of systemic coherence and cellular resilience. Integration Methodology The model formalizes traditional systemic concepts into measurable biophysical variables: Ojas (Resilience Vector): quantified through the integration of the Phase Angle (BIVA) and Heart Rate Variability (HRV). Pitta (Entropic Load): mapped through non-equilibrium thermodynamics and oxidative stress markers. Srotas (Conductivity Vector): analyzed via extracellular matrix (ECM) resistivity and structured fluid dynamics. Intellectual Property Certification and Legal notes Authorship: Valentina Luongo is the sole creator and author of this framework. The integral algorithmic code, weighting coefficients, and calibration constants constitute registered Trade Secrets (Directive EU 2016/943) and remain undisclosed. Authorization Rights: any refinement, modification, or implementation of the formula and its relative coefficients requires the explicit written authorization of the author. Clinical Validation Requirement: this framework is to be considered exclusively theoretical and experimental. It is not a medical device, does not provide diagnoses, and strictly necessitates clinical validation by qualified healthcare professionals before any applied use. Limitation of Liability: the author is not a member of the medical profession. Any improper use, clinical application without medical supervision, or decisions arising from this theoretical model fall outside the author's responsibility. Priority Claim: this publication constitutes formal disclosure to establish scientific priority (Prior Art) for the concepts of BTI and the Shield-Algorithm architecture.
