The 3E Standard™

A Look at the Back Cover

LEGITIMACY IS NOT ARGUED.
IT IS PRACTICED.

Most organizations are already running transformations.
Very few are governing them.

As AI and complexity accelerate, the cost of undefined roles, unclear authority, and unstructured decisions compounds across every initiative. The 3E Standard™ gives organizations the operating model they need to manage transformation as a system, not an improvisation.

Built from Meaning System Science, it defines the structural conditions that prevent failure: feasible scope, clear decision pathways, and coordination that stays consistent even as priorities and teams change. Through Engage, Execute, Elevate, leaders gain a method that restores alignment, reduces rework, and keeps progress stable in real-world environments.

Organizations cannot meet modern complexity with informal transformation practices. This Standard supplies the structure required to manage transformation as a disciplined, accountable system.

Scientific. Practical. Essential.
The 3E Standard™ formalizes a role that already exists and gives it the method it has always needed.

THE MATH OF MEANING

What happens to the meaning of life when meaning itself becomes a scientific variable?

For generations, meaning has been treated as a feeling. Personal. Private. Impossible to verify.

The Math of Meaning begins from a simple claim: meaning is not just what we feel. It is shaped by conditions that determine whether people can understand each other, remain aligned, and coordinate their actions over time.

The book explores why the same words can bring clarity in one moment and confusion in another. Why systems that once made sense gradually stop doing so. And why disagreement often isn’t about values or intent, but about whether shared understanding can be sustained as circumstances change.

Rather than asking what meaning is, the book asks a different question:
What allows meaning to last?

By treating meaning as something that can be studied rather than assumed, The Math of Meaning reveals why coherence has grown rare in modern life—and why many systems continue to operate even as shared understanding fails. Processes still run. Decisions still execute. But people increasingly act on incompatible interpretations, discovering the mismatch only after consequences appear.

Meaning is not something we chase or invent.
It is something we build, maintain, and sometimes lose.
