Cite the framework
Everything a researcher, journalist, or instructor needs to cite the SCT-SCL-ECC working paper series correctly: reference formats, permanent DOIs, and attribution guidance.
The three working papers are deposited at Zenodo with permanent DOIs under CC-BY 4.0. The PDFs at the DOIs are the authoritative versions of record; the deposited version is v1.5 for all three. This page is the canonical citation surface for the series.

Structural Command Theory
The eleven SCT axioms (Ax 0 through Ax 10), the NONCOLLAPSE constraint set (G1/G2/G3), the structural failure-mode taxonomy, the SCTA audit protocol, and the Capability Floor.

Servant Command Leadership
The six SCL axioms, the two foundational pillars, the behavioral failure-mode (BFM) catalog, and the Axiom 7 bridge from structure to conduct.

The Executive Command Center
The three ECC integration principles (EIP-1/2/3), the three constraint axioms, and the visibility-only commitment: what an instrument surfaces and what it must never do.

Citing the series as a whole
In-text, the papers cite individually as Goe (2026a), Goe (2026b), and Goe (2026c). A series-level parenthetical cites all three: (Goe, 2026a, 2026b, 2026c). In a reference list, enter each paper separately; the series name, SCT-SCL-ECC Framework Working Paper Series, rides inside each entry.
Citing the framework versus citing a construct
- For Structural Command Theory generally, the axiom set, NONCOLLAPSE, the structural failure modes, or the SCTA protocol: cite Goe 2026a.
- For Servant Command Leadership, the conduct discipline, or the behavioral failure modes: cite Goe 2026b.
- For the Executive Command Center and the visibility-instrumentation constraints: cite Goe 2026c.
- For a specific axiom or failure mode, add a section reference in the citation, for example: (Goe, 2026a, §2).
- The framework continues to develop after the v1.5 deposits. A construct registered after deposit (for example FM-11, Capture Pattern, added to the public catalog in late June 2026) is citable to this site's glossary and public change log with an access date, until a revised deposit carries it. Every page footer has a Cite this page button that produces a dated page citation.

Author of record
One person authors this work: Brandon S. Goe (ORCID 0009-0000-5848-910X). Command Analysis Group names the conversation around the framework, not a staffed institution, so cite the author; Zenodo is the publisher of record for the deposits. Factual background for press use is on the about page, and the contact line carries a standing invitation to challenge the framework's claims.
