About Casey
Casey Bowman is the founder of Knee of the Curve (KOTC), a consciousness research and education platform. Before turning fully to consciousness work, Casey spent roughly 15 years as a licensed journeyman electrician (IBEW 353), with additional experience in tower climbing and oil rig work in Alberta. That trades background — reading systems, circuits, and load — became the intuitive seed for KOTC's Entropy-Coherence-Resonance (ECR) Model, one of the two original frameworks (alongside Nested Observer Window Theory) at the core of KOTC's work. Casey is based in Ontario, Canada.
Casey's work is grounded in lived human experience. He loves and is inspired by his incredible daughter Cali. His life experiences and relationships have shaped his perspective and ability to help others.

The Frameworks
Entropy-Coherence-Resonance Model (ECR)
ECR frames “development” as a measurable shift from high internal disorder (entropy) to higher coherence, freeing attention and energy for perception, learning, creativity, and connection.
Core concepts
- High entropy: chronic threat response, dysregulation, attentional fragmentation
- Low entropy: regulation, stable attention, social safety, reduced cognitive noise
- Resonance: alignment between internal rhythms (breathing, heart, attention) and social context (co-regulation)
What it predicts
- Regulation practices should improve:
- Emotional recovery time
- Attentional stability
- Prosocial behavior
- Wellbeing metrics
- Safe community contexts should amplify those effects.
Nested Observer Window Theory Model (NOWT)
NOWT is a conceptual model for organizing consciousness across nested scales of processing and experience.
- Sub-windows: specialized modules (interoception, emotion, memory, prediction, etc.)
- Mid-window: the felt unified “I” (integration / binding)
- Macro-windows: group-level coupling (co-regulation, shared attention, culture)
- Source window: the “ultimate” layer as a philosophical hypothesis (kept interpretive)
What NOWT is not
- Not proven ontology.
- Not “consciousness collapses wavefunctions” as a settled fact.
- Not a replacement for neuroscience.
What NOWT tries to explain
- Why unity of experience can arise from distributed processes
- Why regulation/coherence changes perception and agency
- Why groups can synchronize (emotional contagion / co-regulation)
- How “meaning” might arise from integration
