Resonant Compatibility A Structural Model of Partner Alignment Through Resonance, Polarity, and Recursive Self-Regulation

Dominant models of interpersonal compatibility emphasize trait similarity, attachment style, communication skill, or negotiated preference alignment. While these frameworks offer partial explanatory power at the behavioral and relational levels, they fail to account for why certain partnerships reliably enhance long-term psychological coherence, while others degrade self-regulation despite apparent compatibility. This paper introduces a Resonant Compatibility Model grounded in a multidimensional architectural account of psychological organization. Compatibility is conceptualized not as similarity, complementarity, or compromise, but as an emergent structural property arising from shared resonance constraints combined with polarity differentiation within self-led systems. Drawing upon a multidimensional psychological architecture (Chu Nguyễn Đức Dũng, 2025a), recursive coherence feedback dynamics across scales (Chu Nguyễn Đức Dũng, 2025b), and a ten-axis resonance framework (Chu Nguyễn Đức Dũng, 2025c), the model specifies conditions under which relational coupling amplifies rather than erodes internal coherence across time. The framework applies to romantic, creative, and co-founding partnerships and does not presuppose gendered roles, personality typologies, or normative relational forms. Compatibility is defined as a structural condition permitting sustained differentiation, adaptive regulation, and meaning continuity across the lifespan.
