The Evolutionary Frameworks Project - 7 Additional Framework Models
The Evolutionary Frameworks Project – 7 Additional Framework Models documents the second major expansion of the Evolutionary Frameworks Project, an interdisciplinary scientific research programme developed by Kaya Genc, Silas Njiru John, and Dr James Barkell. Following publication of The 15 Frameworks of the Evolutionary Frameworks Project, seven additional framework models were developed to extend the programme into consciousness studies, complex systems science, human optimisation, epistemology, human flourishing, and institutional capability systems. These additions represent the next stage in the evolution of the project and expand its scope beyond its original focus on evolutionary biology, metabolism, physiology, neuroscience, and environmental systems. The seven additional framework models are: Quadratic Systems Consciousness (QSC) Unified Algorithmic Emergence Hypothesis (UAEH) The Epistemic Realist Model of Human Optimisation (ERMHO) The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Flourishing Framework (ATSI-FF) Australian Police Operational Competence and Education Framework (AUS-POCEF) Global Police Operational Competence and Education Framework (G-POCEF) The Epistemic Entrenchment Framework (EEF) Together, these frameworks introduce new domains of inquiry while maintaining integration with the broader Evolutionary Frameworks Project architecture. Each framework is intended to function both independently and as part of a larger systems-level scientific ecosystem designed to generate testable hypotheses, support interdisciplinary synthesis, and guide future research programmes. This milestone expands the project from fifteen to twenty-two interconnected framework models. Collectively, the original fifteen framework models and the seven additional framework models form the current canonical twenty-two-framework architecture of the Evolutionary Frameworks Project.
