Agreement Fields
This page documents the evolving conceptual and methodological backbone that holds the PhD together.
An agreement field is the infrastructure of coordination in an ecosystem: the patterned set of explicit and implicit agreements that shape how resources, authority, meaning, and relationships move.
I use agreement fields to understand why similar initiatives lead to different outcomes, why good intentions backfire, and why stress reveals a system’s real priorities. Mapping agreement fields turns invisible structures into something that can be discussed, compared, and redesigned with care.
This is the backbone of the PhD:
If you want different outcomes, you have to change the field that generates them.
You’ll see the conceptual foundations, methodological choices, and their limits.
