Abstract

Description (Optional) This repository presents a descriptive analytical framework for complex systems, based on three distinct formal tools: DD (detection of durable regime transitions), DD-R (detection of dissipative restoration motifs), and Equilibrium (E) (structural compatibility with an ex ante defined reference). The framework does not aim at prediction, decision-making, or normative evaluation. It produces auditable, syntax-level outputs (detections, non-detections, incompatibilities) under strict formal constraints, where the absence of a signal is considered a valid result. Its purpose is to map regimes, ruptures, and zones of indeterminacy without relying on causal, teleological, or narrative interpretations, and to constrain claims that are incompatible with the observed data and explicitly fixed observational choices. All methodological choices (observables, references, granularity, parameters) are constitutive, documented, and not validated a posteriori. The framework is blind to causes and makes no claims regarding stability, desirability, or future evolution of the systems under study.
