Structural Fit
Which two systems met?Individual profiles, differences and potentially relevant points of contact.
Comparing two profiles is easy. Giving that comparison a percentage is even easier. Neither of those things is the same as measuring compatibility.
Two very different people may adapt to one another extremely well. Two similar people may struggle to discuss differences, amplify tension, or fail to recover after conflict and mismatch. The P-120 dyadic layer therefore does not reduce a relationship to one “Couple Score”. It studies several distinct levels of how a specific pair functions.
Each person keeps their own P-120 profile and, where completed, their own additional research layers. Neither partner becomes the other person’s “correct half”, and no individual score becomes a rating of relationship quality.
A/B are technical roles. They do not encode sex, gender, initiative or dominance.
Individual profiles, differences and potentially relevant points of contact.
Can they notice mismatch, communicate needs, adapt, negotiate and repair contact?
Does it produce mutual recovery, one-sided relief, load, co-regulation or another reproducible state pattern?
A single episode should not automatically become a characteristic of the entire relationship.
A person may need a particular form of contact. A partner may understand that need correctly but provide something different from what was expected. Or one person may believe they delivered exactly what was needed while the other experiences the interaction in a completely different way.
SCORE-D studies changes in state around intimate contact and repeated interactions: stress, affect, recovery, subjective resource, interdependence and possible asymmetry of recovery.
The central question is not whether there is “energy” between two people, but how two independently measured states change over time.
Desire in a relationship cannot be reduced correctly to two fixed “libido levels”. DESIRE-D is being developed as two independent trajectories: one’s own desire, perception of the partner’s desire, signals, interpretation of mismatch, scenario change, and how desire moves within specific interactions.
Dyadic research is meaningful only if each person can answer independently and is not required to disclose their individual responses to the partner.
C1Individual participationEach person participates independently and controls their own responses.
C2Pseudonymous pairingLinking two participation records requires separate consent.
C3Share-safe report consentOnly mutually authorised interpretation that is safe to disclose.
C4Optional event studySeparate permission for repeated event-level research.
The structure below is a preview of a future architecture, not an already available production report.
01 / INDIVIDUALHow the interaction is associated with my own state.
02 / PARTNER-CONTEXTHow my states and reactions change specifically in the context of this partner — without exposing their raw answers.
03 / DYADICWhich mutual patterns can be described safely, and only where the data and mutual consent are sufficient.
