Parallel Domain Architecture (PDA)

This study develops Parallel Domain Architectures (PDAs) as systematic extensions of the Adaptive Neuroregulation Ontology (ANO). While ANO establishes resonance and regulatory sufficiency as foundational principles for non-deficit-based mental health conceptualization, PDAs operationalize these principles across distinct functional domains. Three established architectures, the Motor Control Architecture (MCA), Memory Processing Architecture (MPA), and Linguistic Processing Architecture (LPA), were examined alongside the identification of additional domains amenable to parallel formalization, including social cognition, perceptual processing, executive function, and emotional regulation. Each architecture maintains structural parity with ANO while articulating domain-specific mechanisms and the regulatory dynamics. The PDA framework enables comprehensive mapping of neurodivergent experiences across human functioning, demonstrating ANO's generative capacity as a foundational ontology.
