I. Preamble
Nine Faculties operate under the Cytog Institute of Learning. This document closes the founding architecture by fixing how each one relates to the single governing question named in the Formal Definition and Scope: how does a human person become the kind of person they eventually are? No Faculty answers that question alone. Each contributes evidence and method from its own discipline; Human Formation Science is what holds their contributions together.
II. Principle of Integration
Every Faculty at Cytog Institute of Learning is a contributor to one governing field, not a separate discipline operating beside it.
This principle protects two things at once: it keeps the nine Faculties from becoming disconnected departments with no shared purpose, and it keeps Human Formation Science from swallowing each Faculty’s own disciplinary standards. A Faculty contributes to the integrative field without surrendering the methods proper to its own discipline — a constraint made explicit in Section V.
III. The Nine Faculties and Their Contribution
| Faculty | Contribution to the Governing Question |
|---|---|
| I — Human Formation | Develops the field’s governing theory, models, history, and applications; the integrative hub for the other eight. |
| II — Philosophy, Ethics and Human Thought | Supplies the Philosophical Anthropology and ethical reasoning underlying Documents 2 and 6. |
| III — Psychology, Cognition and Behaviour | Supplies evidence on cognition, emotion, personality, and motivation for the Psychological system in the Core Theory. |
| IV — Society, Culture and Civilization | Supplies evidence on socialization, institutions, and culture for the Social and Cultural systems. |
| V — Education and Learning Sciences | Supplies pedagogy, curriculum design, and assessment method for the Educational system and Documents 8–9. |
| VI — Leadership, Vocation and Institutional Formation | Supplies evidence on work, calling, and organizational culture for the Vocational and Institutional systems. |
| VII — Theology and Spiritual Formation | Supplies theological and spiritual material for the Spiritual system, engaged on its own terms per Document 7. |
| VIII — Language, Meaning and Communication | Supplies analysis of language, symbol, and narrative underlying formative meaning-making, including the field’s Symbolic Human Formation domain. |
| IX — Research, Knowledge and Human Systems | Supplies methodology, measurement, documentation, and information architecture governing how all Faculties’ evidence is tested and recorded. |
IV. Cross-Faculty Coordination
Faculty I carries the integrative responsibility: it is where contributions from the other eight Faculties are drawn together into the Core Theory, the Candidate Principles, and the curriculum. Faculty IX carries the methodological responsibility: any evidence a Faculty contributes must still pass through the research methods and the Rule of Non-Conflation fixed in the Epistemology and Methodology Manual before it is treated as support for a claim within Human Formation Science.
In practice, this means a finding from Faculty III cannot be presented as settling a question that belongs to Faculty VII, and a theological claim from Faculty VII cannot be presented as though Faculty III’s empirical methods had confirmed it. Coordination happens through Faculty I and Faculty IX; it does not happen by blending the Faculties’ methods together.
V. Boundaries
Each Faculty remains answerable to its own disciplinary standards even as it contributes to the integrative field. A Faculty VII theological claim is judged by the standards of theology; a Faculty III empirical claim is judged by the standards of psychological research. Human Formation Science does not create a lower, blended standard that lets a claim from one Faculty escape the scrutiny proper to its own discipline.
Where a Faculty page or Department page makes a claim on behalf of Human Formation Science specifically — rather than on behalf of its own discipline — it must meet the status-marking rules fixed in the Lexicon and Candidate Principles: labeled as candidate, not as established, unless it has cleared the promotion criteria in Document 5, Section IV.
VI. Standing of This Document
This Faculty and Department Integration Map completes the founding architecture of Human Formation Science. Documents 1 through 10 now stand together as one bound system: the field’s identity, its account of the person, its vocabulary, its theory, its candidate claims, its ethics, its epistemology, its curriculum, its assessment, and its institutional structure.
Every document produced from this point forward — the Encyclopedia, the Atlas, the Case Study Compendium, the Research Agenda, and the rest of Phase IV — is expansion built on this foundation, not a redefinition of it.
