The Architecture of Coherence: A Systems Theory of Organizational Justice

A three-layer framework—structural, cultural, epistemological—for understanding how organizations produce justice or capture. Derived inductively from twenty years of operational evidence. Argues that justice is not a moral sentiment layered onto organizations but a structural output of coherent systems, and that the anatomy of coherence does not change with the scale of the system it governs.

The Architecture of Capture

The diagnostic framework applied at institutional and democratic scale. The organizational evidence equips the reader to recognize the mechanisms. The institutional evidence demonstrates they are the same mechanisms, operating through different instruments, at scales where the consequences are not careers and companies but the conditions under which a society maintains the capacity for self-governance.

Band Compression Calculator

An interactive implementation of the Band Compression model documented in The Architecture of Coherence and the essay Band Runway. Surfaces the deterministic convergence of individual salaries against band ceilings, the structural constraint that most organizations discover only as crisis.

Enter a band floor, ceiling, entry point, and annual adjustment rate. The instrument returns the planning horizon: the number of years before the ceiling arrives, visible from day one.
