Theory of Fundamental Belief

An integrative approach connecting philosophy, psychology, and neuroscience

Understanding the internal axis that organizes human experience—before thought, before decision, before action.

An Integrative Dialogue

The TCF converses with different fields of knowledge, opening paths of reflection without imposing truths.

Philosophy

From where do we look at the world?

Psychology

How is experience organized internally?

Sociology

How do collective forces shape us?

Neuroscience

Where does everything happen in the body?

Understanding Through Analogies

The internal axis can be understood through simple but powerful images.

The Wheel and the Axis

A wheel can spin, but without an axis it loses direction. Human beings function the same way—the axis sustains coherence.

🧭

The Compass

The compass does not create the north. It orients itself from a fixed point. The human axis defines what makes sense before conscious decision.

The Inner Fortress

Chaos may lie outside, but there is a center that must remain intact. True freedom is internal stability amid conflict.

"Before thinking, before deciding, before acting, human beings organize themselves internally around an axis. Everything else revolves around this."
