Methodology
ASIP treats the climate and human system as one coupled system. It does not assume smooth linear change. It assumes feedbacks, cascades, delays, threshold behaviour, and the real possibility that conventional models understate risk.
All-system
Climate, ecology, food, politics, infrastructure, institutions, and mortality are treated as coupled rather than separate silos. A change anywhere propagates.
Non-linear
ASIP expects abrupt moves, compounding effects, and runaway behaviour. Gentle linear extrapolation is treated as a special case, not the default.
Iterative
The system is updated repeatedly as new data, documents, and evidence arrive. Earlier runs inform later ones.
Feedback-aware
Reinforcing loops, delays, and cross-domain amplifiers are central to interpretation, not peripheral complications.
Tipping-point aware
Thresholds and irreversible shifts are kept visible throughout, even where direct proof is still incomplete.
Precautionary
Where uncertainty is high and consequences are severe, ASIP leans toward visible caution rather than comforting understatement.
