A General Architecture Model of the Human Life System Engineering: Structure, Process, Time, and Outcomes

This paper proposes a General Architecture Model of the Human Life System (HLSGA), offering an integrated theoretical framework for understanding and governing individual human life as a complex adaptive system. Building upon Life System Engineering (LSE) and Human Life System Engineering (HLSE) as established in prior work, this paper introduces a four-dimensional architecture defined along the axes of Structure, Process, Time, and Outcomes. The Structure dimension decomposes the life system into six coupled subsystems: learning, career, family, wealth, health, and relationships. The Process dimension describes the four-dimensional spiral growth mechanism encompassing self-awareness, life planning, self-cultivation, and life value realization. The Time dimension maps life across five developmental stages from childhood through retirement. The Outcomes dimension defines three integrated result categories: quality of life, life success, and life meaning. The paper formally specifies system boundaries, inputs, states, and outputs; characterizes the six subsystems and their coupling relationships; introduces the lifecycle time axis as a governance scaffold; and proposes a set of life outcome indicators. An overarching architecture figure, the HLSGA Diagram, is presented as the core theoretical map of the field. The proposed model provides a unified basis for empirical validation, AI-assisted life governance platforms, educational curriculum design, and interdisciplinary life system research.

Abstract

This paper proposes a General Architecture Model of the Human Life System (HLSGA), offering an integrated theoretical framework for understanding and governing individual human life as a complex adaptive system. Building upon Life System Engineering (LSE) and Human Life System Engineering (HLSE) as established in prior work, this paper introduces a four-dimensional architecture defined along the axes of Structure, Process, Time, and Outcomes. The Structure dimension decomposes the life system into six coupled subsystems: learning, career, family, wealth, health, and relationships. The Process dimension describes the four-dimensional spiral growth mechanism encompassing self-awareness, life planning, self-cultivation, and life value realization. The Time dimension maps life across five developmental stages from childhood through retirement. The Outcomes dimension defines three integrated result categories: quality of life, life success, and life meaning. The paper formally specifies system boundaries, inputs, states, and outputs; characterizes the six subsystems and their coupling relationships; introduces the lifecycle time axis as a governance scaffold; and proposes a set of life outcome indicators. An overarching architecture figure, the HLSGA Diagram, is presented as the core theoretical map of the field. The proposed model provides a unified basis for empirical validation, AI-assisted life governance platforms, educational curriculum design, and interdisciplinary life system research.
