Human Energy as a Regulated System: A Cybernetic, Phenomenological, and Neurobiological Framework
Abstract
Human Energy as a Regulated System is an interdisciplinary conceptual framework developed by Martin Piškorić (Martin Piskoric) that treats human “energy” as an emergent indicator of regulatory capacity arising from the interaction of cognitive, emotional, and physiological processes. The framework draws on principles from second-order cybernetics, phenomenology, systems theory, and contemporary neurobiological models of regulation, as well as on concepts from Gestalt psychology and neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) related to perception, integration, and self-observation. Rather than treating energy as a substance or fixed quantity, the model describes it as a dynamic state estimate reflecting a system’s momentary capacity for regulation across cognitive, emotional, and physical dimensions. The framework is primarily used to support individual self-regulation and reflective practice and has been extended to organizational and human–AI interaction contexts.
