How do we remain ourselves while changing?
FICND investigates how people continue to recognize themselves while undergoing profound change.
The portal brings together a literary work, a conceptual corpus, an emerging research program and the longitudinal horizon of the Human Experience Atlas.

I am going through a profound change
Enter through O Chamado, the literary and testimonial work.
I want to understand the proposal
Begin with the founding question and the object of Lived Continuity.
I want to examine its rigor
See the path from independent criticism to ethical review and feasibility.
I want to inspect the publications

Scientific object
Lived Continuity
Lived Continuity is the experiential persistence through which different moments can still be lived as belonging to the same trajectory across time and change.
The proposal treats subjectivity as real and accessible, but not transparent. It privileges trajectories over isolated snapshots and asks what a manifestation later changes — or fails to change.
A life may open a question. It cannot determine the answer for other lives.
Human Experience Atlas
Maps without capture.
The Atlas is conceived as a longitudinal architecture for preserving configurations, manifestations, interpretations and subsequent differences. It does not diagnose, predict destinies or turn a moment into an identity.
The Atlas may offer maps. It must never take the path out of the person’s hands.View the full route in Portuguese
Research program
An architecture becomes scientific only when it can fail.
The passage from authorship to research is explicit. Documents and internal coherence do not count as empirical validation.
01
Stabilized work
The object under criticism must be identifiable before it can be tested.
02
Independent criticism
External readers must be able to expose gaps, collisions and conditions for rejection.
03
Usable protocol
Other people must be able to apply, question and modify the procedure.
04
Ethical approval
No participant study begins before appropriate independent ethical review.
05
Feasibility study
A small study first tests comprehension, application and the possibility of negative results.
06
Possible status change
Claims become stronger only to the degree supported by results — and may be revised or abandoned.
07
Public translation
What survives testing returns in ordinary language, with uncertainty and limits intact.
Current state
What exists today.
The portal distinguishes publication, review, development and research that has not yet begun.
Under review
O Chamado, Expressions of Feeling and the selected research pieces.
In development
The Human Experience Atlas and application protocols.
Not yet begun
A feasibility study involving participants.
Requires ethical approval
Any recruitment, data collection or empirical application.
The lived origin
O Chamado
It is not illness. It is a crossing.
The literary work came before the method. It witnesses the question from within experience without turning one person’s crossing into a universal rule. The book remains under editorial review and is not presented as a clinical or diagnostic work.

A necessary distinction
Crossing does not replace care.
Not every rupture is illness. Not every rupture is a crossing. And a crossing may coexist with illness. This portal offers no diagnosis, treatment or clinical guidance.
