Preprint_Stimulus-Resonance Theory (SRT): A Unified Behavioural Model Derived from Hadlich Field Resonance Theory (HFRT)

Arising from work in general medical practice and the need for a more integrative understanding of behavior, cognition, and systemic dysfunction, this paper presents Stimulus-Resonance Theory (SRT)—the dynamic process layer within the Hadlich Field Resonance Theory (HFRT), a unified framework for emergent coherence in both clinical and cognitive domains. SRT models behavior as an emergent process of coherence field stabilization, shaped by the ongoing interaction between cognitive architecture, environmental resonance potential, and energetic resources. It identifies three core variables in behavioral regulation:– the dominance of System 1, 2, or R,– the resonance compatibility of the environment,– and the individual's energetic capacity to process complexity. Maladaptive patterns such as burnout, anxiety, or dissociation are reframed as dynamic coherence failures, rather than fixed pathologies. SRT offers architecture-sensitive insight into neurodivergent profiles—including ADHD, ASD, and AuDHD—and provides a transdiagnostic, process-based model for understanding stress, behavior, and adaptation across individual and societal systems.
