A New Lifecycle Framework for Adaptive Systems
The First Pattern is being developed as a serious lifecycle research program. The current canon includes two flagship papers, three supporting papers, a research handoff paper, and a growing public theory reference.
Independent research, public preprints, and open collaboration for replication and extension.

Research and Applications
The First Pattern
TypeScience.ai
An applied personality and behavioral AI platform connected to Austin’s broader research direction. TypeScience is the practical application layer for TFP, using structured data and modeling to improve personality assessment and classification.
Collaboration and Research Opportunities
The First Pattern is now moving from solo research into broader collaboration. I’m interested in connecting with researchers, advisors, replication partners, and funders who want to help test, challenge, formalize, or extend the program.
Ways to Collaborate
Ways To Collaborate
- Research collaboration
- Replication and adversarial testing
- Advisory relationships
- Funding and sponsorship
- Public-facing research partnerships
Objective Personality Ai Typing Bot
An AI system built to apply The First Pattern™ in practice by classifying your 512-type in the Objective Personality model. I'm creating machine learning to analyze text, facial cues, audio/video features, and sentiment from over 1,000 professionally typed cases. Interested in collaborating? Let’s talk.
About Austin
Hey there! I’m an independent researcher with a background in psychology, education, and entrepreneurship. My work focuses on building structured frameworks that can be tested, challenged, and used to explain complex systems more clearly. The First Pattern is my main research program, and TypeScience is the main applied branch of that work.
My goal is to move TFP from private theory into public research by publishing papers, sharing materials openly, and inviting outside researchers to test and extend the framework.
