Where others
get stuck, we see patterns.
The I·V·O lens makes visible why systems get stuck, how patterns emerge and what context shapes behaviour. This site contains research, tools and visualisations where this way of looking is put to concrete use.
- Mental Health & Recovery — Recovery processes, group dynamics, stress regulation and ecosystemic practice.
- Organisations & Teams — Stalled collaboration, silo formation, change processes and informal dynamics.
- Visualisations & Simulations — Making complex behaviour visible through interactive models and emergent systems.
Also applied within biofeedback, education, AI and systems research.
Open to collaboration and research.
The IVO lens in eight domains →What has emerged
Five directionsSailing as a living system model. Wind as context, course as direction and presence as observation. Small groups at sea as a space for recovery, slowing down and new dynamics.
An experimental interface that makes collective dynamics visible and measurable in real time. Hundreds of units move through an asymmetric field — the system reads itself and names what it sees.
Start visual About this project ↗
A minimal communication protocol for states of being. Three symbols. Language-independent, machine-readable, suitable for wearables and AI analysis. With trends, events and pattern recognition.
Ten interactive installations that make field dynamics visible. The Body Compass in collaboration with TU Delft. The IVO State Logger as a research prototype. And a landmark on the Tweede Maasvlakte as a vision.
The canonical public archive of the I·V·O Framework. 11 documents — kernel definitions, ethics, safety principles, notation, visual maps, biofeedback and experience systems. Deposited at Zenodo. Free to read, study and cite.
The lens itself lives on .org
The I·V·O lens, the articles on cosmology, consciousness and systems, and the interactive visualisations as a digital playground — that is the thinking side of this work.
