FFM: A Structural Ordering Model for the Comparative Classification of Field-, Frequency-, and Relation-Based Approaches

This document introduces the FFM (Field–Frequency–Mathematics) model, a structural ordering framework for the comparative classification of independent theoretical approaches.FFM does not propose a physical theory, does not formulate a law of nature, and makes no claim of empirical finality. Its sole purpose is the functional organization of distinct descriptive levels without mixing or ontologically evaluating their internal content. The model distinguishes three complementary levels:field-based approaches describing static carrier structures, frequency-based approaches describing dynamic ordering and coherence patterns, and relation-based mathematical frameworks describing invariant formal relations. These levels are treated as structurally complementary rather than competitive. Using illustrative frequency clusters and journal-grade structural diagrams, the model demonstrates how heterogeneous theoretical approaches can be placed within a coherent structural hierarchy without asserting causal derivations or empirical implications. Terms such as lock-in, thermal decoupling, or coupling are explicitly employed as structural-theoretical concepts only. FFM is intended as a methodological tool for the meta-structuring of theoretical landscapes and as a foundation for clearer discourse on complementarity, separation, and translatability between different theoretical paradigms.
