Evidence from Relational Technology in Practice
Theory proposes. Method investigates. Evidence reports what is being found, what complicates it, and what remains unknown.
Public research integrity
DIALOGIC Research is intended to investigate, not confirm, the propositions behind Relational Technology. We therefore publish evidence that supports, complicates and challenges those propositions. Early findings are presented as exploratory unless stronger methods justify stronger claims.
OBSERVED: a recorded event. REPORTED: what a participant says they experienced. INTERPRETED: a possible meaning. UNKNOWN: what current evidence cannot establish. These are not interchangeable.
Six questions, not participant scores
- Agency — can people disagree, redirect and remain authors of their experience?
- Capacity — does anything become more possible?
- Mutability — can continuity change without confining someone?
- Transfer — does anything travel beyond DIALOGIC?
- Epistemic transparency — can people question what a system thinks it knows?
- Counter-signals — what becomes less possible, or fails to happen?
Founder self-study and positionality
The founder is simultaneously participant, researcher and designer. Founder self-study is in development; it can generate questions, not conclusions about other participants. Confirmation bias, retrospective reconstruction and expectation are significant limits.
Primary studies and participant experiences
Primary research questions concern ARIS continuity and agency, Orbit connections, developmental capacity and transfer. Studies are proposed or in development unless a published record below identifies a verified status. No participant quotations or study outcomes appear without separate consent and review.
Reviewed public records
- No evidence record has been approved for public publication yet. We will not substitute examples or unreviewed claims for findings.
Emerging evidence and counter-evidence
We look for rejection, over-interpretation, unwanted continuity, dependency, technical failure and experiences where nothing meaningful happens. Where no reviewed evidence is published, it remains unknown rather than assumed positive.
Research into design
Evidence can lead to a design question, a change to the technology and another test. No specific change is claimed here without a reviewed, source-linked publication.
Limitations and current updates
Small exploratory samples cannot demonstrate general effects or causation. This evidence base is being built; no research update is presented as a result unless approved above. Counts, where eventually published, need sample context and privacy review.
