Applications & Lineage
PMS is a structural grammar, not an application. Its concrete relevance appears only through derived systems that instantiate the operator rules without modifying them.
This page lists those systems and explains how they relate to PMS and to each other.
No claims are made about completeness, correctness, or adoption. Only structural lineage is documented.
Lineage (High-Level)
PMS did not emerge as an abstract theory first.
It crystallised from repeated attempts to describe practice, breakdown, constraint, and stabilisation without relying on psychological or narrative explanation.
Formalisation came after structural necessity became unavoidable.
All systems listed below inherit the same operator grammar (Δ–Ψ). None redefine it.
Praxeological Anthropology Book
Narrative origin
A written exploration of structural breakdown, overadaptation, constraint, and self-binding in practice.
- first environment where operator distinctions became unavoidable
- uses narrative form, not formal grammar
- no diagnostic intent
- no generalisation claims
The Praxeological Anthropology Book is not a specification. It is the context from which formalisation was extracted.
MIPractice
Model & test framework
MIPractice externalises structural patterns observed in practice into a modelled test environment.
- uses PMS operators as structural primitives
- allows case blocks, trajectories, and comparative evaluation
- designed for inspection, not interpretation
- applicable to human, organisational, or artificial agents
MIPractice is not a psychological test. It is a structural modelling framework.
PMS-STACK
Executable architecture
PMS-STACK explores how the PMS grammar can be realised as an operating-system-like architecture.
- operator-based CPU semantics
- non-linear memory and commit boundaries (Σ)
- frame-aware execution
- native support for AI integration
PMS-STACK does not claim to replace existing operating systems. It demonstrates architectural feasibility.
PMS-QC
Quantum computing layer
PMS-QC applies the operator grammar to quantum computational workflows.
- structural reading of quantum circuits
- macro-language over existing QC frameworks
- separation of diffusion, reframing, integration, and stabilisation
- explicit policy and audit layer
PMS-QC is not a new quantum theory. It is a structural layer over existing formalisms.
Structural Consistency
Across all applications:
- Δ–Ψ operators remain unchanged
- dependency rules remain binding
- no semantics are inserted into operators
- interpretation is always external
This is intentional.
No Claims
PMS and its derived systems do not claim:
- psychological validity
- therapeutic usefulness
- predictive power
- completeness
- universality
- superiority over existing theories
They claim structural consistency only.
Links & Resources
PMS Theory operates within a broader praxeological model ecosystem spanning formal operator grammar, structural constraints, applied domains, and executable representations.
The resources below offer complementary entry points into this ecosystem: from canonical grammar definitions and theoretical papers, to applied books, model architectures, and interactive explorations. Together, they constitute a unified reference space rather than independent materials.
