Abstract<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

This paper introduces OmniCron<\/strong>, a computational and theoretical framework for modeling and optimizing reflexive belief\u2013decision\u2013institution feedback loops in complex socio-cognitive systems. The framework formalizes \u201cretrocausal equations\u201d as recursive mappings in which anticipated future states influence present decision policies, increasing the likelihood of those futures. Unlike metaphysical interpretations of retrocausality, OmniCron situates its model within complexity science, Bayesian updating, network diffusion, and institutional economics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We present a formal dynamical systems representation, define stability nodes as high-inertia belief\u2013institution attractors, and propose an AI-enabled detection\u2013simulation\u2013replacement pipeline for reducing maladaptive systemic lock-ins. The framework is falsifiable via controlled narrative interventions and longitudinal outcome tracking. OmniCron reframes \u201ctemporal mastery\u201d as probabilistic trajectory shaping under ethical governance constraints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Introduction<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Modern civilization exhibits persistent systemic cycles: financial crises, polarization waves, governance oscillations, chronic stress cultures, and institutional fragility. Many such cycles display reflexive characteristics: expectations influence decisions, decisions alter outcomes, and outcomes reinforce expectations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This recursive structure has been studied under different terminologies:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Reflexivity (Soros, 1987)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Path dependence (Arthur, 1989)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Complex adaptive systems (Holland, 1992)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Narrative economics (Shiller, 2017)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Self-fulfilling prophecy models<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    However, a unified computational framework for identifying, modeling, and systematically redesigning such loops remains underdeveloped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    OmniCron proposes such a framework.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n\n\n\n

    2. Theoretical Background<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

    2.1 Reflexivity in Economic Systems<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Reflexive systems violate the assumption of strict exogeneity of expectations. Instead:E<\/mi>x<\/mi>p<\/mi>e<\/mi>c<\/mi>t<\/mi>a<\/mi>t<\/mi>i<\/mi>o<\/mi>n<\/mi>s<\/mi>\u2192<\/mo>B<\/mi>e<\/mi>h<\/mi>a<\/mi>v<\/mi>i<\/mi>o<\/mi>r<\/mi>\u2192<\/mo>F<\/mi>u<\/mi>n<\/mi>d<\/mi>a<\/mi>m<\/mi>e<\/mi>n<\/mi>t<\/mi>a<\/mi>l<\/mi>s<\/mi>\u2192<\/mo>U<\/mi>p<\/mi>d<\/mi>a<\/mi>t<\/mi>e<\/mi>d<\/mi>E<\/mi>x<\/mi>p<\/mi>e<\/mi>c<\/mi>t<\/mi>a<\/mi>t<\/mi>i<\/mi>o<\/mi>n<\/mi>s<\/mi><\/mrow>Expectations \\rightarrow Behavior \\rightarrow Fundamentals \\rightarrow Updated Expectations<\/annotation><\/semantics><\/math>Expectations\u2192Behavior\u2192Fundamentals\u2192UpdatedExpectations<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This recursive feedback may produce self-reinforcing equilibria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
