The Structural Architecture of Self-Correction: An Open Science Research Programme ist das kanonische Einstiegsdokument eines offenen Forschungsprogramms zur Frage, unter welchen strukturellen Bedingungen komplexe adaptive Systeme ihre Fähigkeit zur Selbstkorrektur erhalten, stärken, anpassen, verschlechtern oder schließlich verlieren. Das Dokument beschreibt die zentrale wissenschaftliche Fragestellung, die vierstufige Forschungsarchitektur (Konzeption → Operationalisierung → mathematische Theorie → empirische Validierung), die Rolle von BenchEWS als neutralem Benchmarking-Framework sowie den aktuellen Stand der Forschung, offene Hypothesen, Risiken, Möglichkeiten zur Mitarbeit und die Open-Science-Strategie des Programms. Es versteht sich ausdrücklich als konzeptioneller Einstieg und nicht als empirischer Nachweis einer Theorie. Keywords:self-correction, structural architecture, complex adaptive systems, systems science, cybernetics, resilience, critical transitions, early warning signals, BenchEWS, CRTI, information theory, network science, control theory, open science, benchmarking, research programme, conceptual framework, systems thinking, scientific self-correction 🇬🇧 Description The Structural Architecture of Self-Correction: An Open Science Research Programme serves as the canonical entry point to an open research programme investigating the structural conditions under which complex adaptive systems maintain, strengthen, adapt, degrade, or ultimately lose their capacity for self-correction. The document introduces the programme’s central scientific question, its four-layer research architecture (conceptual foundations → operationalisation → mathematical theory → empirical validation), the role of BenchEWS as a neutral benchmarking framework, and the current state of knowledge, working hypotheses, scientific risks, opportunities for collaboration, and the programme’s Open Science philosophy. It is intended as a conceptual foundation and orientation document rather than an empirical demonstration of the proposed framework. Keywords:self-correction, structural architecture, complex adaptive systems, systems science, cybernetics, resilience, critical transitions, early warning signals, BenchEWS, CRTI, information theory, network science, control theory, open science, benchmarking, research programme, conceptual framework, systems thinking, scientific self-correction
