psychomorphic compiler : a deterministic framework for translating human experience into engineering design

This paper introduces the Psychomorphic Compiler, a novel framework that enables individuals with no formal engineering or anyone with no higher or moderate training to produce validated technical designs through structured psychological questioning. The system decomposes a technical problem into its underlying decision variables and maps each variable to a universal psychological primitive—such as effort, support, or forgiveness. These primitives are embedded within a familiar human narrative, allowing the user to answer questions about their own life experience which doesn't require any formal education but basic language and environmental awarness. A rule-based compiler then translates these cognitive answers back into precise engineering parameters using established formulas and constraints. A working web prototype demonstrates the approach in two domains: inclined plane design and immune response design. For each answer, a translation trace panel explicitly reveals the underlying engineering question, the psychological mapping, and the formula applied. The results show that complex technical knowledge can be made accessible through a deterministic, transparent translation process, with significant implications for inclusive design, education, local manufacturing, and human-AI interaction.
