Romantic Love as Ground State Construction: A Displacement-Framework Analysis of Attachment, Heartbreak, and Long-Term Bonding

Rincón, D. · 2026 · Zenodo · ground state construction

This is the record, not the paper. The work itself is the deposit on Zenodo, under the DOI below. What follows is its abstract, as deposited.

We apply the displacement framework to romantic love, formalizing falling in love as dyadic attractor formation, the dyadic ground state S0 as the relational minimum encoding mutual knowledge, trust, and co-regulation, and heartbreak as attractor dissolution requiring grief-like reconstruction.
