LONGITUDINAL INQUIRY

How is human autonomy rebuilt?

A longitudinal inquiry into how recovery, environment, and practical systems influence the ability to choose and act.

WORKING HYPOTHESIS · OPEN TO REVISION

Does reduced friction make existing capacity more accessible?

A question to examine over time, not a finding. Simpler systems and fewer decision barriers may help action remain possible when capacity is limited.

HOW THE INQUIRY WORKS

  1. 01

    Record

    Capture observations with their source and date.

  2. 02

    Contextualize

    Keep the conditions around each observation in view.

  3. 03

    Compare

    Examine changes across time and situations.

  4. 04

    Revise

    Update interpretations when the record changes them.

What conditions reliably increase a person's capacity to direct time, energy, attention, decisions, information and environment?
