PMS Theory

A Praxeological Meta-Structure Theory

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.

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.

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.

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.

PMS-QC is not a new quantum theory. It is a structural layer over existing formalisms.


Structural Consistency

Across all applications:

This is intentional.


No Claims

PMS and its derived systems do not claim:

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.
