TCF / TBF — Institutional Positioning of an Original Interdisciplinary Theoretical Framework

Description

This submission presents the institutional positioning of the TCF / TBF (Teoria da Crença Fundamental / Theory of Fundamental Belief) framework as an original intellectual work.

 

The document is intentionally non-operational and non-methodological. Its purpose is to establish academic and institutional context, authorship clarity, and governance alignment for interdisciplinary evaluation.

 

The framework is independently developed and protected under applicable national and international copyright law, including the Berne Convention.

No licensing, transfer of rights, or public-domain dedication is implied.

 

This submission adopts internationally recognized governance language to facilitate institutional readability without disclosing the conceptual core of the theory.

Other (English)

This version presents the conceptual framework of the Theory of Fundamental Belief (TFB), explicitly defining belief as a foundational cognitive axis and clarifying its theoretical scope and limits. It complements prior institutional positioning versions without disclosing methodological, operational, or applied layers of the theory.

Other (English)

This document registers a conceptual extension of the Theory of Fundamental Belief (TFB), clarifying that belief operates as an organizing axis not only in humans but also in non-rational living beings.

The extension does not introduce new principles or modify the original framework. It solely demonstrates that the belief axis defined by the TFB operates prior to language, symbolic reasoning, and existential consciousness, and is therefore not exclusive to human cognition.

This note is linked to the main TFB framework and is intended as a theoretical clarification of scope, not as a revision or methodological expansion.
