Singularization Dynamics in Organizational Collapse: A CRTI Case Study of Eastman Kodak

This paper analyzes the collapse of Eastman Kodak using the Compression–Resonance–Tension Index (CRTI) and the Meta-Model of Singularization. The framework proposes that systemic fragility arises when structural compression and internal tension grow faster than environmental resonance and strategic reserves. Kodak serves as an illustrative case where technological awareness coexisted with structural rigidity, resulting in a progressive loss of adaptive capacity. The study discusses potential empirical proxies for CRTI parameters and situates the framework within existing theories such as disruptive innovation, path dependence, and organizational inertia.
