The Wittenberg Framework (Part 0) provides the conceptual architecture and program overview of a non-metric, axis-based method for structuring and comparing qualitative orientations in governance, ethics, and culturally diverse decision environments.It introduces the intellectual foundations of the Framework, outlines its methodological commitments, and situates the series within a broader philosophical and analytical context. The document defines the canonical four-axis configuration—Moral Order (MO), Relational Order (RO), Regulatory Orientation (RegO), and Meta-Contextual Complexity (MCC)—while clarifying that the general architecture supports alternative or expanded axis sets, provided they satisfy the criteria of qualitative independence, categorical equality, and non-metric orientation. Part 0 also maps the structure of the seven-part core series, explains the role of the methodological Supplements and future Extended Volumes, and positions the Framework as a domain-general tool applicable to AI governance, bioethics, ESG, educational policy, and cross-cultural analysis.Its purpose is to provide readers with a coherent entry point into the program and to articulate how the individual Parts jointly establish a unified, analytically transparent approach to qualitative governance. This overview serves as the structural anchor of the series and establishes the conceptual foundations upon which Parts I–VII build.
