Patternomics — see it, name it, acknowledge it, aim it
The engine

Patternomics™ — an operating system for the patterns that run us.

Everything Slight Angle makes — the stories, the kids' line, the curriculum, the assessment — runs on one engine underneath: a proprietary framework and the tooling that turns it into products.

What it is

Not a book. A system the books come out of.

Patternomics is a structured way to make invisible behavioral patterns visible, nameable, and workable. It is built as three assets that compound: a framework, a proprietary library of patterns, and an engine that turns them into products across markets — kids, schools, veterans, recovery, and organizations.

The framework

A defined framework for how patterns form, hold, and shift. Original R&D — presented honestly as a framework, not a clinical claim.

The library

A proprietary, curated library of recurring patterns, each described through the same structured lens. That structured library is the hard-to-copy asset.

The engine

Tooling that converts the library into assessments, curricula, and content at scale — with a built-in validation layer.

The library

One library. One structure.

Every pattern is described the same way, so a single source can drive a children's book, a classroom lesson, a veteran workshop, and a self-assessment without re-inventing anything. The library itself — the patterns and the data behind them — is shared with partners under agreement.

The method

One move, everywhere.

1

See the pattern

Catch the loop starting.

2

Name it

Naming lowers its intensity.

3

Acknowledge it

Say what it's protecting.

4

Redirect

One if-then plan that re-aims it.

For kids, the same move is gentler: Feel it · Name it · Aim it.

The engine, end to end

From library to product.

Pattern library→ Assessment→ Content engine (curriculum, books, packs)→ Validation

Each person who takes the assessment can (with consent) sharpen the library, which improves every product the engine makes — a flywheel, not a one-off.

Why it holds up

Research-grounded — and honest about what's still R&D.

The building blocks are established science: naming a feeling lowers its intensity (affect labeling); "if-then" plans reliably change behavior (implementation intentions); externalizing a pattern makes it workable (narrative therapy). The combined framework is original research-in-progress — we present it as such, never as a validated clinical product. The foundational theory is published open-access: doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.21040834.

What it powers

One engine. Many surfaces.

The same engine powers a wide range of products and tools:

Personal navigation

A personal profile and daily check-in — see which pattern has the wheel, and where it's aimed.

building

Relationship dynamics

Reads how two people's patterns interact — likely friction, and the path to repair.

roadmap

Organizational diagnostics

Reads a team or company by what it actually rewards — and where problems quietly go unspoken.

roadmap

Story & screen engine

Every character built as a pattern profile and arc — for books, film, and believable AI characters.

in use

Education

Curriculum, a pattern card deck, and experiential learning that teach the method directly.

shipped

Veterans & recovery

Behavioral Bodyguard — supportive education built on the same engine.

shipped

Developer API

A profile in → tendencies, blind spots, conflict style, and a growth path out. Patternomics as infrastructure.

roadmap

Items marked shipped are available today; building / roadmap are in development — shared as direction, not a finished claim.

The long game

A connected system that compounds.

Underneath everything is a growing, proprietary system that connects everything the studio builds. The books and tools are outputs of it — and every new piece makes what's already built more valuable. The details live with partners under agreement.
