The NiCE Framework proposes that human nature, consciousness, and environment are inseparably interdependent—a triadic system where symbols, particularly money, have decoupled from physical reality, creating cascading pathologies across individual psychology, institutional function, and ecological sustainability.
The comprehensive synthesis of the triadic Nature-Consciousness-Environment model. Explore the S.C.I.E.N.C.E. inventory, constraint frameworks (FORCES, GRAVITY, ANCHORS, PRIMES), the Asymmetric Propagation Law, and practical applications for clinical and organizational analysis.
Three inseparably interdependent domains that constitute human experience and shape civilizational dynamics
Embodied biological constraints and affordances. The substrate of human cognition—working memory limits, attention bandwidth, metabolic needs, and mortality.
Cognitive and experiential phenomena—symbolic processing, meaning-making, beliefs, intentions, and the subjective experience of reality.
The constructed world—institutions, technologies, economic systems, and physical infrastructure that both shape and are shaped by human activity.
Core theoretical contributions of the NiCE Framework
Degradations propagate faster than restorations due to thermodynamic asymmetry: Vdegradation >> Vrestoration. Explains why civilizations can collapse rapidly but take centuries to build.
