Everything is open
TEG-Blue is published under CC BY-NC-SA 4.0. The frameworks, models, datasets, methodology, and source theory documentation are all available for independent use. There is no application process, no approval needed, and no coordination required.
How to cite
If you use TEG-Blue in your work — whether to test, critique, extend, or reference — citation formats are available for the framework, the validation study, and individual components.
Full citation formats →Research directions still open
The framework opens several lines of inquiry. Each can be pursued independently. These are documented in more detail on the Start Here page.
A. Measurement and recognition
Can the Four-Mode Gradient be reliably detected in natural language?
B. Prediction and prevention
How do states shift and escalate? Can harm trajectories be mapped and predicted?
C. Navigation and intervention
Which interventions support movement from Control back toward Connection?
D. AI alignment and structured schemas
How can emotional pattern logic be translated into forms AI systems read safely?
The specific ask
I built this framework over nearly two years of independent research. The architecture is complete. The first validation study is published. The open questions are documented.
What the framework needs now is a lead researcher or institution to carry the next phase — systematic validation, replication across contexts, and dissemination into established research channels. There is real space here for someone to take the lead.
Disagreement is welcome. TEG-Blue is a working hypothesis, not a settled framework. The only requirement is willingness to engage seriously with the work.
