The evidence
behind the framework.
Research citations supporting the nine domains of the SOEHA 81™ framework. This portal expands as founding household research is added to the base.
The invisible work of remembering for a household.
Foundational study on the anticipation, monitoring, and decision-making labor of household management, primarily concentrated in one person.
Early documentation of the hidden coordination and logistics labor that defines household carry.
Original framing of working memory limits — foundational to understanding why household carry is depleting.
Landmark research on the distribution of household mental and physical labor after paid work.
Why the first hour determines the day.
Research showing that morning phone use reorients attention away from personal goals toward external demands.
Early evidence that how a day begins shapes emotional tone and decision quality throughout it.
Comprehensive review of cognitive impairment in the first 15–30 minutes after waking — why Morning Open matters.
Demonstrates that evening phone use increases pre-sleep cognitive arousal and degrades morning self-control.
What happens when we do not close the day.
Demonstrates that offloading tomorrow's tasks to a list before bed significantly reduces sleep onset time.
Shows that the inability to detach from work is linked to poor sleep and lower morning recovery.
Framework for understanding how external systems reduce working memory demand — basis for SOEHA's cognitive offload design.
Documents the mechanism by which unresolved daily context elevates nighttime arousal and degrades sleep.
The psychology of crossing the home threshold.
Foundational work on the role of transitions in psychological recovery — basis for Threshold's support at leave and return moments.
Shows that partial completion of a task leaves residual attention on it — directly informing SOEHA's Evening Close structure.
Documents bidirectional interference between work and home domains — the origin of the Threshold problem SOEHA addresses.
Shows that crossing into home without psychological detachment extends work-state activation into household time.
Why rooms carry more than we know.
Philosophical foundation for treating external objects and spaces as part of the cognitive system — central to SOEHA's room memory design.
Research on how rooms develop psychological meaning and absorb pattern-based expectations over time.
Documents how environments trigger memory — basis for Tile's room-anchored recall model.
The body signals that shape home rhythm.
Accessible synthesis of sleep research with direct implications for household support design.
Research on HRV as a signal for recovery and readiness — underlying SOEHA Sense body integration logic.
Documents health cost of misaligned daily rhythm — basis for SOEHA's adaptive Ritual Mode system.
Founding Household data will add primary research to this base. The SOEHA 81™ will expand as each domain is tested in real homes.
