About R.D. Kitcey
R.D. Kitcey is a theoretical researcher specializing in human systems dynamics, consciousness studies, and the intersection of symbolic systems with physical reality. His work integrates insights from cognitive science, philosophy, economics, and ecology to develop comprehensive frameworks for understanding human behavior and societal patterns.
Research Focus
Developing integrated theoretical frameworks that explain how biological embodiment, narrative consciousness, and environmental scaffolding interact to shape human experience and collective behavior.
Methodological Approach
Combining pattern recognition, framework formalization, diagnostic synthesis, and prescriptive design to create actionable insights for addressing complex human systems challenges.
Featured Research
The NiCE Framework
The Nature-Consciousness-Environment (NiCE) Framework represents a comprehensive triadic systems approach to understanding human dynamics. This framework proposes that human nature, consciousness, and environment are inseparably interdependent, with symbolic systems—particularly money—having decoupled from physical reality, creating cascading pathologies across individual psychology, institutional function, and ecological sustainability.
Key theoretical contributions include the Asymmetric Propagation Law, the Great Inversion, and the Insanity Quotient, which together provide diagnostic and prescriptive tools for addressing systemic dysfunction.
