IBEE™ WP-00 — Constitutional Architecture of Identity-Based Emotional Epistemology: Ontology, Constraint Topology, and Cross-Level Destabilization

IBEE™ WP-00 — Constitutional Architecture of Identity-Based Emotional Epistemology: Ontology, Constraint Topology, and Cross-Level Destabilization This document establishes the constitutional architecture of Identity-Based Emotional Epistemology (IBEE™). It defines identity as constraint topology governing admissible interpretive, affective, and institutional trajectories across cognitive (L₁), identity (L₂), and institutional (L₃) levels. The central structural claim is conditional: when transition load (TL) exceeds architectural rigidity (R), containment stability fails, and constraint topology reorganizes. Destabilization is therefore not presumed or dramatized; it is structurally entailed under defined threshold conditions. WP-00 formalizes constraint topology, rigidity, transition load, structural destabilization, and cross-level mediation. Threshold entailment, nonlinear amplification, phase regimes, hysteresis conditions, and scope boundaries are explicitly specified. This work constitutes the constitutional layer of the IBEE research program. Subsequent white papers extend these foundations through formal modeling, lineage continuity analysis, multivariate identity–emotion regulation systems (MIERS™), and institutional constraint dynamics. This publication is a conceptual and theoretical monograph. It does not constitute clinical, diagnostic, or therapeutic guidance.
