Trauma leaves holes in the architecture of the soul. The effects of these holes ripple across mind, body, emotion, and relationships. The Holey Theory provides a framework for understanding these ruptures as patterns of disorder left in entropy’s wake, leaving internal systems in chaos. The Holey Theory also provides a framework for understanding healing as a reorganization of the fragmented self, bringing coherence back to self systems. 

The Holey Soul Index (HSI) operationalizes these constructs, offering a map for measuring fragmentation, integration, and systemic regulation over time. This model emphasizes the dynamic interplay between disruption and restoration, showing that healing is non-linear, relational, and cumulative.

By tracing the movement from entropy to coherence, the theory illuminates the invisible architecture of trauma and recovery. It provides practical and theoretical guidance for survivors, clinicians, and researchers seeking to understand systemic dysfunction, implement interventions, and track healing progress.

Ultimately, the Holey Theory reframes trauma as a structural phenomenon rather than a personal failing, revealing the resilience embedded within fragmentation and the pathways through which coherence, and wholeness, can emerge.

My theory accounts for everything survivors already know to be true, at a soul level. I will provide the language and science to concepts researchers have danced around, but never quite grasped in it’s entirety. 

The Holey Theory is cellular, it’s chemical, it’s biological, it’s cosmic, it’s universal, it’s cognitive, it’s experiencial, it’s physical, it’s mathematical, it’s scientific, it’s universal, it’s spiritual, and it’s soulful. It’s one unifying theory that joins together our minds, our body’s, and our spirit. 

You weren’t born broken.

Trauma fractured the natural order of your soul, leaving holes, distortions, and chaos where your coherence was meant to live.

The Holey Theory is a scientific–spiritual framework that explains why this happens… and how healing restores your original blueprint.

Trauma didn’t just hurt you. It changed you. It altered your neural, emotional, relational, biological, and spiritual systems. It did this by introducing entropy (a law of thermodynamics that states that the energy in a closed system decreases over time.) You may have heard it explained as going from a high energy state to a lower energy state. Or as slowing down, cooling down. It’s also been described as going from an ordered state to one of disorder.

In Holey Theory, entropy is introduced via trauma. That’s why you felt scattered, overwhelmed, dissociated, hypervigilant, and ashamed. Chaos isn’t a personality trait; it’s a symptom of internal entropic rupture. And if you’re an incest survivor, then you know exactly what I mean when I say that the pain incest leaves behind is felt at a soul level. 

The Holey Theory explains:

• • Why trauma fragments both the brain and the soul
  • Why survivors lose access to intuition, clarity, identity, and emotional regulation
  • Why healing feels like you’re slowly “coming back online”
  • Why moments of awakening feel spiritual, scientific, and inevitable
  • Why your patterns made sense even when they hurt

And most importantly:

• • Why you can rebuild, no matter how many holes you carry
