A Structural Placement Note for the Recurring Capture Pattern (RCP) Series

This note is part of the LRSM (Layered Recursive Structure Model) framework. For the foundational structural model, see Shimamoto (2026) https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.20040864 This note provides a structural positioning of the Recurring Capture Pattern (RCP) series within a broader analytical architecture. The RCP analyses, previously presented as independent case studies across multiple institutional domains, are here reframed as applied instances of a shared observational framework. This note clarifies that their structural consistency is not incidental, but arises from a common analytical protocol for identifying recursive behavioral convergence and feedback mechanisms. Without introducing new analytical content, this document situates the RCP framework within a layered structural model and outlines its relationship to higher-level theoretical components, including generating principles and meta-conditional structures. The purpose of this note is to enable a coherent reading of the existing RCP series as a unified body of work, and to prepare for forthcoming publications that will formalize the upper layers of the analytical architecture.
