Authorship and Origin

All content, frameworks, models, diagrams, terminology, mappings, and structural relationships presented within The Emotional Gradient Blueprint (TEG-Blue) is the original work of:

Anna Paretas-Artacho

Independent Researcher

This work represents an original synthesis, structural mapping, and conceptual framework developed through independent research, lived experience, and cross-disciplinary analysis.

While it draws from existing peer-reviewed research across neuroscience, psychology, biology, physiology, trauma studies, systems theory, and related fields, the way these elements are connected, named, structured, visualized, and translated into an integrated system is original.

TEG-Blue are not summaries of existing models. They are new structural frameworks designed to make emotional systems, regulation patterns, and societal dynamics legible, teachable, and applicable across contexts, including education, therapy, organizational systems, and AI alignment.
