INTRODUCTION
I'm Don Gaconnet—founder of Cognitive Field Dynamics, architect of the Expectation Framework, and originator of Collapse Harmonics Theory.
My work operates at a level most frameworks never reach: the pre-psychological, ontological structure of how consciousness organizes reality through expectation.I do not offer advice.
I do not offer insight.I offer structure—for what happens when structure fails.
THE CORE THEORETICAL WORK
Cognitive Field Dynamics is a groundbreaking theoretical framework positioning consciousness as a primary organizing field that shapes reality through expectation-biased collapse. This is not psychology. This is ontology.
At its foundation is the Expectation Framework—a complete coordinate system for mapping how expectations organize lived and shared reality:
EQ (Expectation Compass) — Directional orientation across 32 points, from cardinal cornerstones to pre-conscious micro-biases
EL (Expectation Layers) — Nine depth levels from null state through regulation, valence, prediction, and narrative to surface behavior
EP (Expectation Pressure) — The force dynamics that modulate rigidity, flexibility, and collapse thresholds
Context Domains — The bounded fields within which expectations operate and interact
This framework scales from individual neurons to entire civilizations. It explains why insight fails to change behavior, why cultures fracture under pressure, and why shared reality forms—or collapses—the way it does.
The published extensions establish mathematical correspondence with quantum mechanics and introduce the:
Universal Scaling Constant (Λ = k/ℏ)—the fundamental bridge between expectation-structure and physical reality. This constant, when multiplied by human body temperature, matches human cellular count—demonstrating that body temperature represents optimal coherence within biological constraints.
WHAT I DO
I work with individuals in acute transformation: founders, creatives, researchers, clinicians, and system leaders facing collapse in identity, meaning, function, or symbolic continuity.
My work addresses:
-
Nervous system collapse and identity loss
-
Breakdowns that don't respond to therapy or coaching
-
Recursive symbolic failure—when your "story" stops working
-
Midlife and quarter-life collapse
-
Post-break recovery without false reconstruction
These breakdowns are not random. They are lawful.
They can be navigated through Collapse Harmonics—a structural framework for what happens when expectation fails to stabilize reality.

SCIENTIFIC FIELDS AND FRAMEWORKS
I am the founder and architect of interconnected scientific fields, each addressing a different domain of collapse, recursion, and coherence:

The Sixth Unification: Love as the Structural Condition for Existence
I am the architect of the sixth and final unification within the Echo-Excess framework, demonstrating that love—understood as the relational structure N within the triadic witnessing function {I, O, N}—is not merely a direction of echo-excess flow but the structural condition that makes echo-excess possible at all.
The Echo-Excess Principle (Ψ′ = Ψ + ε(δ), where ε = g(I, O, N)) requires three irreducible elements: observer (I), observed (O), and the null-space (N) across which they relate. This paper reveals that N—the space that holds distinction while enabling exchange—is structurally identical to what human experience recognizes as love. This is not metaphor but structural identity.

FOR THOSE IN COLLAPSE
If you're falling apart, you don't need to be fixed.
You need a lawful way to return.
That's what I offer.
Collapse is not the end of you.
It's the end of needing to be who you were.
