I diagnose where coherence breaks: in systems, in organizations, and in the gap between how things are supposed to work and how they actually do.

Coherence is a property of a system in which truth, authority, and continuity reinforce each other over time, reducing the need for corrective effort. When systems lose coherence, people absorb the cost.

This publication documents the patterns:

• Failure Modes: structural ways systems fail, independent of industry or intent

• Functional Field Notes: early signals before failure hardens

I’m not selling a method. I’m making the cost visible so the structure can be addressed, instead of asking humans to compensate indefinitely for design failures.
