The Sovereign Audit: A Manifesto for the Post-Romantic Era is a philosophical and analytical exploration of modern identity, autonomy, and human behavior in an increasingly system-driven world.

Drawing from systems theory, behavioral science, economics, sociology, and philosophy, the book examines how contemporary narratives around relationships, value, agency, and selfhood have evolved-and in many cases fractured-under technological, institutional, and cultural pressures. Rather than offering prescriptive advice, the work presents a conceptual framework for understanding human interaction as a set of observable patterns shaped by incentives, constraints, and measurable outcomes.

The text challenges traditional romantic, psychological, and sociological assumptions by applying analytical models typically reserved for engineering, economics, and decision theory. Topics include behavioral incentives, social signaling, risk management in interpersonal dynamics, institutional critique, and the tension between biological realities and cultural constructs.

Written in a manifesto-style format but grounded in abstract reasoning and theoretical modeling, The Sovereign Audit is intended for readers interested in critical theory, post-romantic philosophy, systems thinking, and cultural analysis. It does not provide personal, legal, medical, or psychological advice, but instead invites the reader to engage with a rigorous examination of modern social structures and the concept of individual sovereignty within them.

This book is best suited for intellectually curious readers seeking a challenging, unconventional perspective on autonomy, modern relationships, and the architecture of contemporary belief systems.

Dr. Cornelis van Houte, callsign Frost, is a former navy servicemember and military logistics consultant for PMCs in Africa and Eastern-Europe.
