Pentahelix Stability Model
Developed by Josh Carter
Stability emerges when structure and restoration outweigh flux.
A geometric framework for understanding how any system — organizational, behavioral, or technical — maintains or loses stability over time.
The model describes four phases: an organized structure, deviation under flux, a restorative phase, and the emergence of stability when structure and restoration together outweigh the forces of disruption.
S = H + R
S
S + F
H = Helix Structure
R = Restorative Phase
F = Flux / Deviation
