This conceptual note proposes the Law of W, a cross-scale Form-Law for systems under psychological or biological burden. It states that long-term outcomes are primarily a function of the ratio between effective Relational Regulatory Capacity (W_eff) and burden (B), generalising Denis Noble’s biological relativity to human development, trauma, organisations and societies. The paper introduces a minimal geometric model on the –1/0/+1 axis and formulates testable hypotheses from DNA repair and social buffering to complex trauma care, institutional resilience and democratic stability.
