Social Resonance Framework v2.0: A Dynamic, Formative, Outcome-Anchored Specification

Description Social Resonance Framework v2.0 is a structural revision of SRF v1.0 that reconstructs social resonance as a dynamic, formative, multidimensional, and outcome-anchored framework for modeling social coupling. This version replaces the prior scalar and categorical operational layer with the Social Resonance Profile (SRP), a formative multidimensional representation of coupling across physiological, affective, behavioral, cognitive-narrative, relational, and symbolic-cultural dimensions. SRF v2.0 defines coherence and dissonance as topology-plus-outcome relations, models regimes as operational attractors in a continuous state space, and treats transitions between regimes as central phenomena rather than exceptional cases. The framework introduces a nomological network of external outcomes — including relational persistence, functional coordination, and psychophysiological cost — to support falsifiable claims and prevent circular validation. It also formalizes transition vectors, regime individuation criteria, observer-dependence, ethical limitations, weaponizability, and an Inferential Strength Ladder governing claim-making from descriptive profiles to strong directed causal claims. SRF v2.0 preserves the central construct of social resonance introduced in SRF v1.0 while reconstructing its operational architecture on dynamic foundations. It is intended as a specification framework for theoretical development, disciplined hypothesis generation, and future empirical research, not as a clinical diagnostic instrument or universal theory of social behavior. This version supersedes the operational definitions and measurement architecture of SRF v1.0 while preserving SRF v1.0 as the historical and conceptual predecessor.
