From the model that lets computers understand each other — to a new architecture for knowledge itself.
For over sixty years, engineers have relied on one elegant idea to make interoperability possible: layers. The OSI reference model let machines exchange meaning by separating concerns — from physical signal to protocol to application — so a failure at one level could never silently corrupt understanding at another.
Research Program in 7 LAYERS OF THINKING asks a bold question: what if the same discipline could organize knowledge itself?
Dr. Ekkehard Finkeissen extends the OSI model beyond networking into a rigorous meta-architecture of understanding — seven functional layers running from raw measurement to normative decision:
The result is a shared grammar for scientists, philosophers, lawyers, physicians, engineers, and standardization bodies alike — a precise way to see exactly where reasoning goes wrong: when description quietly becomes prescription, when interpretation is mistaken for measurement, when institutions "solve" epistemic problems by skipping the very steps that make solutions trustworthy.
Written as both a philosophical argument and a practical reference — complete with worked audit questions for every layer and every transition between layers — this book is the technical foundation of a broader research program (spanning medicine, law, economics, psychology, and politics) and a candidate contribution to future standardization work through bodies such as ISO and IEC.
Who this book is for:
If the 20th century gave us the architecture to connect machines, this book proposes the architecture to connect understanding.
