MIRA Model: Relational Emergence — A Cross-Scale Framework for Emergent Meaning

MIRA (Meaning = Information + Relation) is a conceptual framework proposing that emergent meaning and novel configurations arise through transformative relational dynamics rather than within isolated systems alone. The model introduces a recursive emergence cycle (I → R → M → new I) describing how informational structures enter into relation, generate emergent configurations, and stabilize into new structures capable of further relational transformation. The paper positions MIRA as a complementary analytical framework applicable across biological, cognitive, social, and artificial domains while explicitly acknowledging its current conceptual and methodological limitations.
