Phenome Registry

Phenomes are functional patterns that sit above biological mechanisms and below condition profiles. They describe what a person may experience functionally, such as energy stability, motivation, emotional regulation, or recovery capacity.

Mechanism-to-phenome links are translational relationships. They do not imply that a single mechanism causes or treats a complex condition.

Phenome details

PH001Focus / Attention Stability

Capacity to sustain, shift, and regulate attention across changing cognitive demands.

How steadily a person can hold, shift, and return attention when tasks or distractions change.

Connected mechanisms

PH002Motivation / Drive

Capacity to initiate effort, pursue goals, and maintain goal-directed behaviour.

How readily a person starts effort, pursues goals, and stays engaged with what matters to them.

Connected mechanisms

PH003Emotional Regulation

Capacity to modulate emotional responses and maintain affective stability.

How well emotional responses can be modulated so mood and reactivity stay within a workable range.

Connected mechanisms

PH004Cognitive Energy Stability

Capacity to maintain mental energy and avoid cognitive energy crashes across the day.

How evenly mental energy holds up through the day without sharp crashes or fog.

Connected mechanisms

PH005Recovery Capacity

Capacity to restore function after cognitive, emotional, metabolic, or physical load.

How effectively function returns after sustained cognitive, emotional, metabolic, or physical demand.

Connected mechanisms

PH006Stress Resilience

Capacity to buffer, adapt to, and recover from stress exposure.

How well the system buffers stress, adapts under pressure, and returns toward baseline afterward.

Connected mechanisms

PH007Metabolic Resilience

Capacity to maintain function under changing metabolic, energetic, or physiological demand.

How well the body and brain maintain stable function when energy demand, fuel availability, or metabolic conditions change.

Connected mechanisms

PH008Sleep / Calming Tone

Capacity to downshift arousal and support sleep-compatible physiological regulation.

How readily arousal can downshift toward calmer, sleep-compatible physiological states.

Connected mechanisms

PH009Reward Regulation

Capacity to regulate reward sensitivity, reinforcement learning, and reward-seeking behaviour.

How reward sensitivity, reinforcement learning, and reward-seeking behaviour are regulated over time.

Connected mechanisms

PH010Behavioural Activation

Capacity to translate motivation into action, task initiation, and sustained behavioural engagement.

How effectively motivation converts into starting tasks and sustaining behavioural engagement.

Connected mechanisms

PH011Cognitive Clarity

Capacity to maintain clear, organised mental processing without excessive fog or confusion.

How clear and organised thinking feels — distinct from attention stability or raw mental energy.

Connected mechanisms

PH012Energy Stability Under Variable Conditions

Capacity to maintain energy output when nutritional, physiological, or environmental conditions change.

How steadily energy production holds when conditions around nutrition, physiology, or demand shift.

Connected mechanisms

PH013Energy Stability Under Variable Fuel Conditions

Capacity to maintain ATP-linked energy supply when available fuel substrates or macronutrient context change.

How well energy supply holds when glucose, fat, ketone, or mixed fuel availability changes.

Connected mechanisms

PH014Hormonal Volatility

Stability of hormone-linked signalling patterns that influence mood, cognition, and physiological regulation.

How stable hormone-linked signalling feels over time — as distinct from a single hormone mechanism.

Connected mechanisms

PH015Stress Reactivity

Intensity and pattern of physiological and affective responses to stressors.

How strongly and quickly the system reacts to stress — distinct from longer-term stress resilience.

Registry review flags

The following phenome pairs are flagged for manual review (not merged automatically).

  • RF001 (near_duplicate): Near-duplicate energy/fuel stability labels — consider merging under one canonical phenome after manual review.Energy Stability Under Variable Conditions / Energy Stability Under Variable Fuel Conditions
  • RF002 (related_distinct): Stress Resilience (adaptive capacity) vs Stress Reactivity (response intensity) — related but not identical; do not merge automatically.Stress Resilience / Stress Reactivity
  • RF003 (related_distinct): Motivation/Drive vs Behavioural Activation — related; remain separate unless manually merged.Motivation / Drive / Behavioural Activation
