Ranesis conducts foundational research on coherence, time, and the conditions under which systems maintain stability as they evolve. This research is part of the Ranesis framework, introduced by Alexandre Ramakers.
Our work starts from a simple observation: in real systems, stability is not a static property. It must be continuously maintained under temporal constraints, interaction, observation, and external pressure. When this maintenance degrades, systems may remain locally correct while losing global coherence.
Research at Ranesis focuses on identifying and modeling the mechanisms that allow systems to persist, adapt, and remain aligned over time. This includes the study of non-local effects, coordination costs, temporal saturation, and failure modes that do not arise from isolated faults but from cumulative drift.
The research spans multiple domains, including physical systems, computational processes, energetic regulation, and organizational structures. These domains are treated through a unified conceptual lens, without assuming domain-specific primitives.
Method: we model coherence as a maintained property under temporal constraints, then test the lens on recurring real-system failure patterns.
A central aspect of this work is the distinction between operation and maintenance. While operation produces outputs, maintenance preserves the internal conditions that make those outputs meaningful over time. Many real-world failures arise when maintenance becomes implicit, deferred, or structurally under-resourced.
Research outputs take several forms:
foundational theoretical frameworks,
analytical models of coherence and temporal constraints,
applied frameworks leading to protected intellectual property.
Public materials on this site present selected high-level research notes and conceptual results. Detailed mechanisms, implementations, and evaluations are discussed selectively.
Selected applications derived from this research are described separately.
The publications below form a coherent progression, moving from methodological clarification, through foundational concepts, to formal instantiations and domain-specific applications.
They are not independent contributions, but successive layers of a finite-horizon structural framework.
• On Differentiability, Memory Kernels, and the Structural Status of Time (2026)
Clarifies the status of differentiability as an effective descriptive regime rather than a fundamental property of time.
Establishes memory-based temporal organization as structurally prior, preparing the ground for finite-horizon formulations.
• Foundation of Time (2026)
Develops a pre-dynamical structural analysis of time based on persistence, maintenance, and coherence.
Does not assume physical time, spacetime, or equations of motion, and serves as the conceptual backbone of the framework.

Introduces the maintenance invariant as a primitive structural quantity and fixes its domain of validity.
Separates definition from derivation, interpretation, and application.

Shows that standard instantaneous conservation laws arise as limiting cases of finite-time conservation.
Establishes the universality of the finite-time structure across classical, quantum, and relativistic field theories.

Applies the finite-time coherence framework to open quantum systems.
Introduces a local coherence field as an operational diagnostic of decoherence persistence, without altering quantum dynamics.
• Dimensional Selection by Finite-Time Maintenance (2026)
Applies the maintenance criterion to spacetime dimensionality.
Shows that four-dimensional spacetime emerges as a critical maintenance regime between dilution (D > 4) and overconstraint (D < 4).
• Coarse-Grained Dynamics of a Local Temporal Coherence Field (2026)
Develops a minimal coarse-grained dynamical framework for the organization of temporal coherence in space and time.
Shows that coherence dynamics generically falls into the reaction–diffusion universality class and gives rise to stationary spatial organization.
• Coherence-Mediated Balance Between Thermal Agitation and Gravitation (2026)
Applies the finite-time coherence and maintenance framework to gravitational and thermally active physical regimes.
Introduces a minimal phenomenological mediation in which coherence (persistence capacity) is governed by the balance between gravitational concentration and thermal agitation.
Clarifies radiation as an energy escape channel rather than a mediator of coherence, and embeds the mediation structure within the maintenance invariant without modifying established physical theories.
• Finite-Horizon Structures I: A Minimal Axiomatic Category of Homogeneous Invariants (2026)
Reconstructs the framework at a purely axiomatic and categorical level.
Defines finite-horizon structure abstractly and proves the uniqueness of the associated homogeneous invariant.
• Finite-Horizon Structures II: Differential Geometry Induced by the Homogeneous Invariant (2026)
Derives the minimal differential geometry implied by the invariant alone.
Shows how structural identity organizes geometrically without invoking dynamics, spacetime, or physical fields.
