Human Wealth™ Ontologist Certification

Master the Architecture of Human Wealth™

A 16-week advanced program for practitioners and educators who want to achieve mastery of the Human Wealth™ ontology — its philosophical foundations, measurement architecture, cybernetic feedback loops, and research methodology — and contribute to its ongoing evolution.

What You’ll Learn

  • 1

    Achieve deep fluency in the 4-domain, 16-element, 11-metric, 8-transition architecture and its epistemological foundations.

  • 2

    Understand the cybernetic feedback loops between domains — how Integration drives Resources, Resources enable Systems, Systems produce Wellbeing, and Wellbeing reinforces Integration.

  • 3

    Learn the measurement theory behind each composite metric: why the Human Wealth™ Formula uses squared velocity, why SER uses a ratio, why social capital requires a geometric mean.

  • 4

    Develop the ability to teach, present, and extend the ontology in educational, clinical, and research contexts.

  • 5

    Contribute to the peer-reviewed WAW journal and the ongoing refinement of the Human Wealth™ framework.

Curriculum

Module 1 — Philosophical Foundations

3 weeks

Eudaimonic wellbeing, self-determination theory, positive psychology, and behavioral economics — the research traditions that ground the ontology. Why Human Wealth™ rejects the hedonic-only model.

Module 2 — Domain Architecture

3 weeks

Deep dive into each domain: Integration (the engine), Resources (the inputs), Systems (the processes), Wellbeing (the outputs). Element definitions, measurement boundaries, and inter-domain flows.

Module 3 — Measurement Theory

3 weeks

The Human Wealth™ Formula (K = ½mv²), composite metric construction, threshold calibration, and the statistical reasoning behind geometric means, harmonic means, and ratio metrics. Psychometric foundations of the 64-question Wellbeing Composition.

Module 4 — Transition Dynamics

3 weeks

The 8 systemic life transitions as perturbation events. Element-depletion signatures, recovery trajectories, compound-shock modeling, and the Shadow Liability Index. Case analysis using the full WAW literature index.

Module 5 — Teaching & Communication

2 weeks

How to present the ontology to diverse audiences — individuals, advisors, organizations, and academic reviewers. Workshop design, case-study construction, and the Three-Layer Weave narrative methodology.

Module 6 — Research Contribution

2 weeks

Contribute an original analysis to the WAW journal. Topics may include: new element validation, transition-specific studies, cross-cultural adaptation, or metric refinement proposals. Supervised by Founders and editorial board.
