The PYOC Framework Library
Systems Are Understood Before They Are Built.
The PYOC Framework Library exists to explain how systems work to bring liberation.
Not how to hustle inside them. Not how to “optimize” them. Not how to chase outcomes. This space is for learning how outcomes are produced before action is taken.
Where the PYOC Knowledge Library explores ideas, history, and narrative, the Framework Library focuses on system literacy.
Frameworks sit between belief and execution. They explain why systems behave the way they do, how different components interact, where effort compounds, where it is wasted, and why certain approaches fail repeatedly, regardless of intention.
The Four Paths Through the Framework Library
PYOC Frameworks are organized into four paths, with each path representing one stage of understanding, not a hierarchy of worth. These paths are designed to be layered, because understanding happens in layers. One path leads naturally into the next, but it is okay to belong to all four at once.
How to Use This Library
You can enter the Framework Library at any path. Some readers begin with Learner frameworks to understand how systems work before taking action. Others start with Builder or Grower frameworks to design systems intentionally from the beginning, or to diagnose the faults in their current system. Protection often becomes necessary only after something has already been built.
The only “correct” entry point is the point that reflects where you are right now. You will visit each one multiple times as you learn and build in layers.
Frameworks are organized across multiple categories, including business, finances, education, and rest. Each path connects to category-specific frameworks so understanding can remain focused and relevant.
Framework Paths
Learner frameworks explain how systems behave and why outcomes occur. They make invisible structures visible and replace confusion with clarity. This is where patterns are named, myths are dismantled, and understanding begins.
Understanding how systems are constructed | Builder frameworks explain what must exist for a system to function. They focus on structure, relationships, and design—not shortcuts or tactics. This is where understanding turns into intentional construction.
Understanding how systems expand and compound | Grower frameworks explain how systems evolve over time. They focus on consistency, sustainability, and long-term behavior. This is where momentum replaces urgency.
Understanding how systems fail or are undermined | Protector frameworks explain where systems break down. They focus on risk, decay, and loss—not fear, but prevention. This is where stability is preserved.
