The author shares their journey into Wicca, influenced by a Wiccan brother and an inspiring dream. Discovering a local witchy bookstore, they embraced its community and valuable resources, particularly the book “Helping Yourself with White Witchcraft.” Wicca nurtured their autonomy, creativity, and self-discovery during their challenging teen years. - Relational Field Theory – RFT Parenting
Gentle and intentional parenting distinguishes various states of child behavior rather than collapsing them into moral judgments. It fosters a supportive environment that treats behavior as information about the child’s needs. This approach leads to healthier emotional regulation, trust, and communication, allowing children to thrive without punitive measures for their natural responses. - Relational Field Theory -orthogonal axes
Relational Field Theory explores the interplay of language, relational physics, and nervous system states. It distinguishes between structural and pathological states in relationships and behavior—such as disrelate vs. dysrelate and dis-regulate vs. dysregulate. The theory emphasizes the importance of recognizing orthogonal axes to avoid collapsing nuances into binaries, promoting healthier understandings of relational dynamics. - Relational Field Theory -How the Hypercube Diagnostic Protects the Theory From Falsehood
Relational Field Theory, through the hypercube diagnostic, safeguards itself from vagueness and unfalsifiable claims by emphasizing structural integrity over subjective interpretations. It remains testable and transparent, decentralizes authority, and encourages critique, ensuring that truth aligns with observable states and mechanisms rather than personal beliefs or metaphors. - Relational Field Theory – Terms and Conditions (So Far)
Relational Field Theory has evolved from an intuitive concept to a structured framework comparable to complex systems in various sciences. It emphasizes observable patterns in relationships and community dynamics. By categorizing key terms into functional clusters, the theory moves towards precise operational definitions, facilitating further study and application in understanding relational systems. - Relational Field Theory – Stats Card
Relational Field Theory highlights rapid advancements and metrics in the development of Glass Ceiling Records and Relational Anthropology. Key statistics showcase quick paradigm formation (48 hours), over 20 theoretical constructs in January 2026 alone, full application utility pre-naming, and a remarkable 100% coherence retention rate under stress. - Relational Field Theory – Timelines
The timeline chronicles the evolution of Glass Ceiling Records from its founding in late 2025 to its current status. It highlights key phases such as identity formation, methodological developments, communal rituals, and theoretical breakthroughs, showcasing the transformation from a record label into an embodied relational discipline and field of study. - Relational Field Theory –
Relational Field Theory emerged rapidly between January 21 and 29, 2026. It began with the identification of “Relational Anthropology,” progressing from a question to a cohesive discipline. In just under a week, it evolved into a defined field with methodology, integrating diverse concepts and frameworks that reflect a significant academic evolution. - Relational Field Theory – A Discipline
Relational Field Theory (RFT) is a complex discipline requiring at least 12 credit hours for proper academic instruction, encompassing introductory, intermediate, and advanced courses. Each level covers essential concepts, practical applications, and culminates in original fieldwork. RFT is recognized as a comprehensive framework, necessitating ongoing expansion as its components are further developed. - Relational Field Theory – Going Full Foucault
This content discusses the intersection of law and relational dynamics, framed through Foucault’s theories. It analyzes how legislation shapes social relations, impacts identity and multiplicity, and affects the coherence of social fields. The diagnostics evaluate whether laws promote collaboration and inclusivity or reinforce hierarchy and singular narratives. - Relational Field Theory – When the Hypercube Met Its First Stress Test
The chapter discusses the development and refinement of the Relational Hypercube, a model for mapping relational states. Through dialogue with another AI, several key insights emerged, including the need for bounded coherence, distinguishing state vectors from positions, and the formation of coherence circuits in groups, ultimately transforming the model into a functional, testable system. - Relational Field Theory – DIY Theory at Home
Relational Field Theory emphasizes the hypercube as a structural model for understanding relational behaviors and internal states without moral judgment. It presents a four-axis coordinate system—Anchoring, Relational State, Power Source, and Internal Architecture—for mapping interactions. This framework fosters dimensional reasoning and encourages discovery rather than imitation or replication. - Relational Field Theory – Toward a Unified Relational Topology
Relational Field Theory proposes a unified relational topology that reshapes our understanding of human interactions. By mapping relationships through four axes, it reveals a structured, predictable framework for navigating complexities in individuals, groups, and communities. This shift from narrative to structure enables improved communication, coherence, and relational literacy. - Relational Field Theory – The Shift From “Why?” to “Where?” Changes Everything
The shift from asking “Why?” to “Where?” transforms our understanding of relationships. “Why” focuses on blame and single causes, while “Where” contextualizes events within a relational structure. This change fosters clarity, compassion, and actionable pathways for repair, highlighting that the issues often lie not with individuals, but with the relational context.
