The PJenga Framework

A model for understanding global system instability
The PJenga Framework is a conceptual model for analyzing complex global systems. It uses the metaphor of interconnected Jenga towers to describe how modern civilization is structured and how instability propagates through it.
In the PJenga model, global stability is not maintained by a single system, but by several interconnected structures. Each structure functions like a tower built from stability blocks. When one block shifts, the structural balance of the tower changes—and the effects may propagate across the entire system.
