The Structure of Human Becoming

This paper articulates a structural account of human becoming grounded in a simple generative arc: constraint, adaptive movement, and coherence formation. It shows how this triadic structure appears across biological, cognitive, moral, narrative, spiritual, and social development, providing a unified framework for understanding personhood without reducing it to any single domain. Consciousness is treated as the lived interior of adaptive movement, while alignment with the good and alignment with reality serve as evaluative criteria for genuine coherence. The paper does not advance a doctrine or defend a position; it offers a structural framework for readers to evaluate on its own terms.
