Why do firms with similar capital, labour, technologies, and market access produce radically different outcomes? This conceptual paper develops a dynamical architecture of organizational value creation. It treats the firm as a cross-temporal flow architecture through which resour...

Flow Shaping Principle — Correspondence-Calibrated Pathway-Specific Updating

Adaptive systems can assign persistent change to configurations through which consequential episodes pass. This paper formulates the Flow Shaping Principle (FSP) as a falsifiable claim about veridical consequence-configuration correspondence. FSP concerns active updating only. Fo...

Connection Theory: A General Framework for Adaptive Network Dynamics — From Temporally Extended Existence to Emergent Dynamic Properties

Biological organisms and autonomous artificial systems exhibit adaptive behavior through fundamentally different physical mechanisms. This paper proposes Connection Theory, a general framework for investigating organizational dynamics shared by adaptive systems with different imp...
