TEG-Blue (The Emotional Gradient Blueprint) is an integrative architecture mapping how the nervous system organizes behavior across scales — from individual signal detection to collective dynamics.

The foundational principle: emotion is biological information — the nervous system communicating what matters, what's safe, and what needs to be seen.

Built as an independent research and design initiative based in Barcelona, TEG-Blue synthesizes 145+ theoretical contributions from 41 research traditions across 24 scientific domains — including polyvagal research, attachment theory, affect regulation, dual-process cognition, and trauma studies — into a coherent framework with empirical validation (10,000+ natural conflict narratives analyzed, four nervous system states successfully detected, 78% higher self-awareness markers in de-escalators vs escalators, pre-registered on OSF).

The system:
— 4 foundational models (M1–M4) mapping the Emotional Somatic Cycle
— 12 frameworks (F1–F12) spanning individual biology, collective dynamics, and repair
— A four-mode nervous system gradient (Safety & Openness → Threat & Defence → Strategy & Management → Power & Dominance)
— Visual tools that make emotional logic usable, especially for people who think in images rather than abstractions

→ teg-blue.org — open science platform with 12 framework papers, glossary, and scientific foundations

Founded and led by Anna Paretas-Artacho, independent researcher and systems designer.

Open to research collaborations, institutional partnerships, and applied work at the intersection of emotional pattern recognition, nervous system science, and AI safety.
