Ground Press Library
Interactive research tours exploring the Control Loop Framework and adversarial performance architecture.
What Are Ground Press Tours?
The Framework
Learn how elite performers actually control performance under maximum pressure. The Control Loop Framework explains the unified architecture of competitive advantage—whether you're playing tennis, trading markets, or navigating non-ordinary reality.
The Research
Access the methodology and findings from a longitudinal N=1 autoethnographic study. Practice-Generated Research (PGR) is a rigorous scientific approach that generates formal findings through active investigation of your own performance.
The Application
Measure and expand your competitive margin using CLF principles. Whether you're an athlete, trader, coach, or researcher, these tours teach you to identify constraints, reorganize your reference signal architecture, and perform at the edge of your capacity.
The Domains
The same framework works across tennis, trading, shamanic practice, somatic reorganization, and market signaling. CLF is domain-agnostic because it describes how intentional systems work—period.
Each tour is a guided deep dive into one aspect of the framework. Start with foundational tours to understand the core concepts, then progress to advanced tours that extend CLF into specialized domains.
