Origins and history
Engineering analyses of critical transitions led to the question of how a system signals the loss of stability and correction capacity.

Follow the path from the engineering origins through early-warning mathematics to the BenchEWS Research Programme. The AIP result, the broader CRTI, and the software have distinct evidence statuses.

How the ideas connect
Early-warning signals and CRTI
The AIP paper proves spectral concentration of Φ(Σ) for a defined model class. The broader CRTI is a separate experimental programme indicator.
See the AIP result →Lemming analogy: picture the critical edge →BenchEWS structure
The research programme connects questions, models, benchmarks, evidence boundaries and validation. Studio implements selected parts as reference software.

BenchEWS Research Programme
The scientific programme: questions, hypotheses, methods, evidence boundaries, and validation.
ECHO
A specified diagnostic and measurement architecture within the programme. Its sonar language is metaphorical, not a hardware or product claim.
BenchEWS Studio
A computational reference implementation of parts of the programme. Software availability is kept separate from scientific validation.
