Structural_Love — Module Folder

TriadicFrameworks · Relational Architecture Family v1.0.0 · 🜲 BOND-STABLE · Status: Canonical · Active

This folder contains all canonical documents for the Structural_Love module — the TriadicFrameworks formalization of love as a structural property of a relational system, assessed through four operators acting across a triadic alignment of Self, Other, and System.

What This Module Does#

Structural_Love replaces the ambiguous term love with a testable, operator-decomposable structural condition. A relational dyad (A, B) instantiates Structural Love if and only if four operators simultaneously meet their thresholds:

SL(A, B) = COHE(A,B) ∧ PRI(A,B) ∧ BOND(A,B) ∧ CARE(A,B)

When all four operators score at or above threshold, the system enters the BOND-STABLE regime. When any operator degrades below threshold, the system reclassifies into BOND-STRESSED, BOND-DEGRADED, or BOND-SEVERED — each with a defined intervention path.

Core claim: Love is not a cause of relational stability. It is structural stability, expressed at the operator level.


Quick-Reference: Operators#

Operator Full Name Threshold Measures Primary Failure
COHE Coherence ≥ 0.62 Accuracy and currency of each agent's model of the other Phantom bonding — relating to a representation, not the person
PRI Priority ≥ 0.55 Revealed allocative rank of the other within the agent's action-selection field Priority displacement — valued but not allocated
BOND Bond ≥ 0.70 Load-bearing capacity and repair history of the relational channel Structural collapse — below 0.20 may be irreversible
CARE Care ≥ 0.58 Unconditional beneficial acts directed toward the other's wellbeing Conditional drift — care becomes gated by reciprocity

Quick-Reference: Regimes#

# Regime Badge Condition Recovery
I BOND-STABLE 🜲 All operators ≥ threshold Maintenance only
II BOND-STRESSED 🜁 1–2 operators below threshold; BOND ≥ 0.50 Targeted operator restoration
III BOND-DEGRADED 🜄 2–3 operators below threshold; or BOND 0.20–0.50 Deliberate structural repair
IV BOND-SEVERED 🜃 BOND < 0.20; or ≥ 3 operators at floor External scaffold required

Regime transitions are not reversible by declaration — moving from BOND-SEVERED to BOND-STABLE requires sequential traversal through intermediate regimes.


Quick-Reference: RTT Corner Cases#

Config COHE PRI BOND CARE Pattern Name Watch For
0101 Phantom Love Warm and engaged; no structural backbone
1001 Late-Stage PRI Drift Most common long-duration failure mode
1011 ✓* "Loving but not alive" PRI-CARE coupled decay; see Data case study
0000 Full Severance End state — not a starting point for intervention

Quick-Reference: Badges#

Badge Code Meaning
🜲 BOND-STABLE BST Structural Love instantiated
🜁 BOND-STRESSED BSR Repair recommended
🜄 BOND-DEGRADED BDG Structural repair required
🜃 BOND-SEVERED BSV Structural Love absent
SURVIVOR-T1 SVT1 BOND-STRESSED → BOND-STABLE history
✦✦ SURVIVOR-T2 SVT2 BOND-DEGRADED → BOND-STABLE history
✦✦✦ SURVIVOR-T3 SVT3 BOND-SEVERED → BOND-STABLE history

Survivor badges are permanent — they are never removed regardless of future regime changes.

Structural_Love is a foundational module — it defines operator and regime language used by downstream modules. It has no upstream dependencies within TriadicFrameworks.


Alignment Triad (Diagram)#

              ┌──────────┐
              │   SELF   │
              └────┬─────┘
                   │
       ┌───────────┴───────────┐
       │                       │
  ┌────▼───┐              ┌────▼────┐
  │ OTHER  │◄────────────►│ SYSTEM  │
  └────────┘              └─────────┘

If any node is evacuated — SELF absent, OTHER replaced by projection, SYSTEM denied — the triad collapses and no operator can score above 0.50 regardless of surface behavior.
