About Realis
Purpose
Realis Institute is the independent standards body for Institutional Physics, the structural science of institutional stability and failure under load.
The Institute develops, maintains, and governs the discipline’s standards, methods, and architectural coherence across sectors.
Independence
Standards are developed using structural and evidentiary discipline, without political alignment or advocacy orientation. Collaboration is limited to organizations committed to neutral and rigorous practice.
The Realis Architecture
The corpus is organized as a five-layer cascade, with two orthogonal architectures operating across the layers.
Across these layers, Realis Institute establishes and maintains the standards that keep them ordered, interoperable, and coherent.
Founding Steward
The initial architecture of Institutional Physics was developed by Christina Óvári. She maintains custodial responsibility for foundational documentation and early standards during the field’s formation phase.
Commitment to Design and Continuity
Stewardship preserves lineage, enforces consistency, and equips institutions with methods that perform reliably when demands intensify. Realis maintains the standards, diagrams, definitions, and training materials that make this stewardship operational.
Realis Institute maintains custodial responsibility for the field's coherence, lineage, and continuity through formation. The objective is a discipline capable of outlasting any individual steward. The full structural commitments governing the work are documented at How We Build.
