Macroanomics

Macro-Anomics explains how modern institutions can remain active and legitimate while losing the capacity to settle—binding decisions, closing processes, discharging responsibility, or allowing participation to end—under conditions of low settlement capacity and high interpretive load.

Microanomics

Micro-Anomics explains how individuals, understood as role-bearers rather than psychological subjects, come to occupy structurally non-settling roles in which participation persists while completion, discharge, and exit remain unavailable.

The Anomics Diagnostic Model of Non-Settlement

The Anomics Diagnostic Model is a structural diagnostic framework for explaining how coordination systems remain active and legitimate while losing the capacity to settle over time. Rather than explaining dissatisfaction through psychology, motivation, or culture, the model isolates a specific failure mode: stable non-settlement. It specifies how the absence of binding outcomes (Settlement Capacity), the resulting burden of continuous meaning-work (Interpretive Load), and the pricing of delay itself (Time Value of Time) interact to produce systems that persist without resolving, even as participants experience mounting exhaustion. Under these conditions, time ceases to reduce uncertainty and instead stabilizes deferral by preserving optionality under volatility. The model is diagnostic, not predictive or normative. It does not evaluate people or recommend behavior. Its purpose is to name, formalize, and test the structural conditions under which systems fail to conclude — before those failures are misattributed to individual weakness or poor decision-making. Within the Anomics canon, the model functions as a diagnostic instrument rather than a general theory, translating structural failure into testable temporal dynamics.
