Research and Observational Deployment
A structured framework for studying coherence-based environments through ethical, non-interventional observation.
This page outlines how the RaW Platform and RaW Chamber are deployed within research, institutional, and observational contexts.
Research and observational deployment within the RaW ecosystem focuses on understanding how structured environments influence perception, behavior, and adaptive response over time.
Rather than testing therapeutic outcomes, deployments emphasize environmental exposure, repeatability, and observational integrity.
These deployments do not constitute clinical trials, treatment protocols, or medical interventions.
NIH Research Strategy
Observational deployment is guided by principles of consistency, minimal intervention, and ethical oversight. Environments remain stable across sessions to reduce confounding variables and allow meaningful comparison over time.
Observers document interaction with the environment rather than attempting to elicit or direct specific responses.
Observational Framework
Research Settings
Academic or independent research environments
Exploratory or hypothesis-generating studies
Non-invasive, environment-focused observation
Institutional & Educational Settings
Universities and teaching institutions
Demonstration environments
Curriculum-aligned experiential learning
Multispecies Observational Studies
Studies involving humans and animals in shared environments
Focus on co-presence, orientation, and interaction patterns
Conducted under appropriate ethical and species-specific guidelines
Deployment Contexts
Study Design Considerations
Research designs emphasize environmental consistency, repeated exposure, and longitudinal observation where appropriate. Variables of interest typically relate to interaction with space, positioning, engagement patterns, and changes across repeated sessions.
No active manipulation, instruction, or performance demands are imposed on participants.
Data Collection & Documentation
Common Observational Domains
Spatial positioning and movement patterns
Duration of engagement within the environment
Interaction between participants or species
Changes in orientation or proximity across sessions
Documentation Methods
Structured observational logs
Video or spatial mapping (where approved)
Time-based session records
Qualitative behavioral notes
Important: Data collection focuses on environmental interaction rather than physiological measurement unless conducted under separate, approved protocols.
Ethical and Institutional Oversight
All research and observational deployments are conducted under recognized ethical standards and institutional oversight. When applicable, studies may be reviewed by Institutional Review Boards (IRBs), ethics committees, or equivalent bodies.
Animal involvement follows species-appropriate welfare guidelines and emphasizes non-invasive, low-stress observation.
The RaW Platform and RaW Chamber are not medical devices and are not presented as treatments, diagnostics, or therapeutic interventions.
Limitations & Scope
Observational findings derived from RaW deployments are interpreted within the context of environmental interaction and adaptive behavior. These observations do not establish causality, clinical efficacy, or therapeutic benefit.
SCFT and the RaW Platform provide conceptual and architectural context rather than clinical claims.
