The Research Architecture
The research of the Erpenbach Institute is organised within the Erpenbach Research Architecture (ERA). ERA connects projects, models and hypotheses into a growing research structure for questions of reality, knowledge, behaviour, decision, time, coherence and coexistence across human, artificial, animal, cultural, planetary and physically-dynamic systems.
Overarching Research Architecture
Erpenbach Research Architecture (ERA)
ERA is not a project among others. It is the framework within which all projects are situated, connected and further developed. ERA asks under what conditions something becomes describable, decidable, measurable or governable.

The Recognition Point of the Admissible Set of the Decidable
Functional and delineation text · OSF Preprint · DOI 10.17605/OSF.IO/SRBCT · All rights reserved · 2026
A functional and delineation text of the Erpenbach Research Architecture. It fixes one point as a citable anchor: the agentless and traceless contraction of the admissible set of the decidable without an identifiable excluder, and the recognition of that shift before any marked state exists. The point is defined through a conjunction of three criteria and tested against eight occupied neighboring fields, none of which holds the conjunction. The falsification condition is stated explicitly.

On Procedural-Referential Divergence (PRD)
Conceptual framework · OSF Preprint · DOI 10.17605/OSF.IO/2CQBV · All rights reserved · 2026
Procedural-Referential Divergence (PRD) is a conceptual framework describing situations in which procedural continuity remains intact while the referential object of judgment changes across successive stages of institutional processing. The framework addresses a specific condition in which responsibility, judgment and governance remain formally attached to a process whose referential object has gradually changed through institutional translation. Part of the Erpenbach Research Architecture (ERA).
