How 30+ theories, frameworks, and cultural models come together in one map
TEG-Blue™ stands on the shoulders of giants—fusing insights from more than 30 groundbreaking frameworks across psychology, neuroscience, sociology, systems thinking, education, and AI.
But what makes it different is how these elements connect—turning scattered brilliance into a living, practical map for healing and change.
1. The Models: What’s Inside the Blueprint?
Below are the core scientific models and research fields interwoven into TEG-Blue™. For each, you can dive deeper to see how its wisdom is carried forward:
Field/Framework | What It Contributes | Learn More |
Polyvagal Theory | Safety/threat states; body-based emotion logic | |
Trauma-Informed Care | Surival instincts, root causes, repair | |
Attachment Theory | Healthy and wounded relationships | |
Internal Family Systems | Parts, protectors, conflict/navigation | |
Somatic Experiencing | Healing through felt sense and body awareness | |
Emotional Intelligence | Skills for awareness, empathy, self-regulation | |
Social Justice/Critical Theory | Power, bias, systemic exclusion, collective trauma | |
Systems Thinking | How problems ripple through people and structures | |
Neurodiversity Research | Different brains, sensory and social experience | |
Family Systems Theory | Generational patterns, roles, family healing | |
Oppression & Bias Frameworks | How systems create, sustain, and internalize harm | |
Affective Computing & AI | Emotional logic in artificial intelligence | |
...and more |

How 30+ scientific frameworks power TEG-Blue™2. Synthesis Methodology: How Were These Combined?
- Pattern Recognition, Not Copy/Paste: Each theory was treated as a piece of a larger puzzle. TEG-Blue™ uses the logic and tools of science—like gradients and systems mapping—to see overlaps, contradictions, and unspoken assumptions between fields.
- Gap-Filling With Lived Experience and AI: Where frameworks contradicted or left “blind spots,” answers were sought in real lived stories, community feedback, and, crucially, AI-powered cross-referencing and research. This means connections emerged that might not be obvious to any one expert or discipline.
- Transparent Humility: TEG-Blue™ doesn’t claim mastery of all these fields. Instead, it’s a transparent map: “Here’s where these models meet, here’s what they cover, and here’s what is still being discovered or debated.”
- Open to Feedback and Growth: The system is documented for review, feedback, and research. If you’re an expert or practitioner in any one model, your perspective is welcomed to sharpen, validate, or expand the synthesis.
