Research and Publications
Life Cycle Horticulture develops and publishes research on plant behavior, environmental meaning, PRISM, and General Behavior. This work began in horticulture, where plant growth, stress, dormancy, recovery, and adaptation revealed a deeper question: how do living systems turn signals into meaning, behavior, and future state?
Our publications document the development of Plant Psychology, the Phase-Referenced Interval State Map, and the broader General Behavior framework. Together, this research supports a practical foundation for behavior-driven agriculture, controlled-environment growing, and future plant-state interpretation tools.
Featured Research
- Plant Psychology: studying how plants move from signal, perception, and interpretation into visible behavior.
- PRISM: the Phase-Referenced Interval State Map for reading phase, state, Event, Drift, stress, recovery, and developmental change.
- General Behavior: a broader framework for understanding how systems develop through meaning, consequence, and interval-state transitions.
- Behavior-Driven Controlled-Environment Agriculture: applying plant behavior research to more responsive growing systems.
- Indigenous-rooted approaches to sustainable food systems, relationship, responsibility, and knowledge-sharing.
