About the Invisible Central Layer Overlooked by Intervention-Centered Structures: A Proposal for an Existence-Based Maintenance System and Its Implemented Interface Application, ‘be’

Overview

This proposal introduces an Existence-Based Maintenance System (EBMS) and an implemented interface application, Being (있음). EBMS reframes support structures away from intervention-centered, event-triggered responses toward a continuous framework intended to sustain existential continuity before, during, and after episodes requiring intervention. The document situates the proposal as independent work originating outside formal institutional affiliation and clarifies that the approach is informed by cross-cultural reflection rather than an economized reworking of traditional philosophies. The goal is to present a system concept and an applied interface that prioritize maintenance of ongoing existence rather than corrective intervention alone.

Methods and approach

The approach is conceptual and design-oriented: define the conceptual foundations of an existence-based maintenance paradigm, articulate structural design principles for an interface intended to sense and uphold continuity without presuming intervention, and describe an applied implementation labeled Being (있음). The proposal outlines how EBMS differs from linear, intervention-centered workflows (diagnosis → intervention → termination) by centering continuous presence and support. The document requests domain-specific evaluation from mental health, welfare, education, recovery services, and related fields, and it positions additional relevance for philosophy, social systems theory, policy design, and human–computer interaction. Where technical or architectural elements are discussed in the full document, they are presented as illustrative or proposed design choices rather than established, validated components.

Results

The submission delivers a system proposal and an implemented application prototype named Being (있음), accompanied by conceptual exposition and design rationale. It documents identified limitations of intervention-centric structures and provides a structured alternative in EBMS, together with an interface specification intended to maintain existential continuity. The document does not claim completed empirical validation; instead, it frames the implementation and exposition as material for critique, practical evaluation, and iterative development by domain stakeholders. Proposed uses and scalability toward broader social-system designs are indicated but remain subject to further review and feasibility assessment.

Implications

If adopted and iteratively developed with domain expertise, EBMS and the Being (있음) interface could reorient service architectures away from episodic intervention toward continuous support modalities, with implications for service eligibility, care continuity, and system thresholds for engagement. The proposal invites critical review concerning practicability, ethical governance, integration with existing institutional workflows, and potential impacts on resource allocation. It foregrounds the need for collaborative validation work—conceptual alignment, feasibility studies, pilot evaluations, and policy analysis—before claims of efficacy or operational outcomes can be substantiated.
