Systems Evaluation: Diagnosing Alignment Across the DODEC Layers
...
...
1. Definition & Overview
Systems evaluation in the DODEC context is the disciplined audit of alignment, health, and trajectory of any individual or institutional entity across the Spiritual (S), Genetic (G), Epigenetic (E), and Extractive‑Transformative Systems (ETS) layers.
Purpose: detect misalignment early, quantify consequence chain momentum, and direct restorative interventions.
Diagnostic primitives include SG vectors, layer scores, radial covenant drift d, and consequence chain (CC) mapping.
2. Layer‑Based Evaluation
| Layer | Core Diagnostic Questions | Quick Alignment Indicators | Score Range (−1 to +1) |
|---|---|---|---|
| S (Spiritual) | Is Christ enthroned? Are declarations true? | Presence of repentance, prophetic clarity | J value |
| G (Genetic) | Does leadership DNA reproduce health? | Generational stability, life metrics | Avg. +G‑CC vs –G‑CC |
| E (Epigenetic) | Are habits righteous or toxic? | Policy fruit, cultural liturgies | Net behavioral SG |
| ETS | Is system extractive or redemptive? | Justice index, creation care footprint | +ETS‑CC vs –ETS‑CC |
Scoring Guidance
- +1 = fully aligned, life‑giving influence.
- 0 = neutral/complacent, entropy risk.
- −1 = misaligned, active decay driver.
Composite system score = weighted mean of layer scores.
3. Consequence Chain Mapping
- Identify origin event and polarity (+/−).
- Label chain (e.g., –E‑CC) and log propagation path.
- Measure distance traveled (layer count) and velocity (rate of new nodes impacted).
- Map against SG gradient to determine acceleration or drag.
4. Thresholds, Failures & Collapse Indicators
| Layer | Warning Threshold | Collapse Signature |
|---|---|---|
| S | J < 0.3 | Public apostasy, prophetic silence |
| G | Net −G‑CC ratio > 0.5 | Heritable disease spike, leadership implosion |
| E | Behavioral entropy index > 0.6 | Entrenched addiction, policy gridlock |
| ETS | Justice index < 0.4 | Institutional corruption, economic oppression |
5. Alignment & Restoration Potential
Evaluate: readiness to repent (S), genetic margin for recovery (G), flexibility of habits (E), institutional elasticity (ETS).
High recovery probability when: J turns positive, m₁ and m₂ increasing, d contracting, and CC velocity slowing.
6. Tools, Frameworks & Practices
| Tool | Purpose | Key Metrics / Visuals |
|---|---|---|
| Alignment Audit Matrix | Snapshot all four layers vs SG polarity | Heat‑map (green → red) |
| Consequence Chain Mapper | Trace origin and reach of CCs | Path graph with layer nodes |
| System Drift Graph | Plot J variance over time | Line chart crossing threshold bands |
| Radial Covenant Map | Measure d (distance) per domain | Polar scatter |
Dashboards combine live telemetry with SG calculations to provide continuous monitoring.
7. Biblically
1 Samuel 3:13 (ESV) And I declare to him that I am about to punish his house forever, for the iniquity that he knew, because his sons were blaspheming God, and he did not restrain them.
2 Kings 22:11-13 (ESV) When the king heard the words of the Book of the Law, he tore his clothes. And the king commanded Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam the son of Shaphan, and Achbor the son of Micaiah, and Shaphan the secretary, and Asaiah the king's servant, saying, “Go, inquire of the Lord for me, and for the people, and for all Judah, concerning the words of this book that has been found. For great is the wrath of the Lord that is kindled against us, because our fathers have not obeyed the words of this book, to do according to all that is written concerning us.”
Revelation 3:1-3 (ESV) “And to the angel of the church in Sardis write: ‘The words of him who has the seven spirits of God and the seven stars. “‘I know your works. You have the reputation of being alive, but you are dead. Wake up, and strengthen what remains and is about to die, for I have not found your works complete in the sight of my God. Remember, then, what you received and heard. Keep it, and repent. If you will not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what hour I will come against you.
Ezekiel 40:4 (ESV) And the man said to me, “Son of man, look with your eyes, and hear with your ears, and set your heart upon all that I shall show you, for you were brought here in order that I might show it to you. Declare all that you see to the house of Israel.”
Case studies show God’s assessments preceding either judgment or reform, validating the evaluation framework.
8. Theologically
- Justice and mercy set the audit criteria; God warns before judgment.
- Alignment produces flourishing; misalignment triggers consequence chains.
9. Logically
Evaluation maps directly to SG Law (SG = J·m₁·m₂/d²).
Decay curves plot SG over time; redemption threshold is SG > 0.2 sustained.
10. Observably
- Corporate breakdowns follow prolonged –ETS‑CC (e.g., Enron).
- National revivals shift J and d rapidly (e.g., South Korean church growth).
- Rome’s fall shows system score dipping below all thresholds.
11. Current Knowledge
- Systems theory: feedback loops diagnose stability.
- Organizational diagnostics: cultural surveys mirror E‑layer audits.
- Ethical AI audits: fairness metrics align with justice index.
12. Summary & Call to Action
Regular spiritual system audits are mandatory for Kingdom resilience.
Systems must be repented of, reformed, or replaced to prevent Babylonian entropy.
