K-Recovery is a retrospective observational concept.
It was not designed as a medical model,
treatment method, or intervention system.
The term was applied after recovery had already occurred,
to describe a recovery flow observed within
a long-term personal recovery archive.
K-Recovery does not prescribe actions.
It does not propose how recovery should happen.
It exists only to describe what was observed.
During sustained observation of a single personal recovery journey,
a consistent recovery flow became observable over time.
This flow did not appear suddenly
and was not produced through force or intervention.
Instead, it emerged gradually through:
stability of conditions
continuity over time
repeated observation within daily life
To describe this observed flow,
the concept later came to be referred to as K-Recovery.
The “K” in K-Recovery refers to context, not methodology.
It reflects:
a Korean life context
long-term personal health tracking
recovery observed within ordinary daily conditions
It does not indicate a national system,
medical protocol, or cultural prescription.
K-Recovery is NOT:
a medical system
a treatment or therapy
an intervention strategy
a step-by-step recovery method
It provides no instructions,
no prescriptions,
and no guarantees.
K-Recovery is not a standalone framework.
It is a descriptive concept used to explain
the recovery flow observed within the archive
from which CS-NRRM™ was later structured.
K-Recovery describes the observed recovery flow
CS-NRRM™ provides the non-medical structural interpretation of that flow
The two are related, but not interchangeable.
Recovery came first.
Observation followed.
Interpretation was structured later.
This order defines both K-Recovery
and the origin of CS-NRRM™.
K-Recovery provides no medical advice, diagnosis, treatment,
prescription, prediction, or effectiveness claims.
It exists solely as a retrospective descriptive concept
used to explain an observed recovery flow
within a single long-term personal record.
Not for clinical decision-making.
