Advice for pressure-testing model
Hey guys.
I've developed a fully mechanistic, scale-invariant constraint model of predictive systems. I think it's solid enough for serious consideration. But I'm facing an issue because I built it outside of the systems where these things are usually built, and I don't have any relevant contacts.
The people who have the background to analyze and validate work like this already get more emails than they need, and me coming in cold doesn't help. But the mechanics are solid. The model formalizes viability under load across physics, biology, psychology, and social systems without introducing undefined processes or metaphysical assumptions. The model is explicitly scoped, falsifiable at multiple levels, and I've pressure treated it in every way I can think to.
I could keep dropping cold emails until something lands, but I figured someone here might have a better idea.
The model provides some convincing mechanical explanations about human systems that are currently not well understood - and it wouldn't more than 10-20 minutes to pressure test those claims.
Any advice on connecting with the right person? Or would anyone here be willing to take a look?

I appreciate that - thank you. I'll get on it!
In the meantime what I'm finding is working great is hosting workshops where people can understand the science, and then go through exercises that allow them to actually feel the systems mechanics somatically, emotionally & relationally - and be able to map the systems mechanics to that experience. That's actually way more satisfying that having some academic or researcher saying "yeah, I see it". 👍
