For Val Sklarov, the future of work is not automation, hybrid models, AI augmentation, skill evolution, or workforce distribution.
Work is a Task-Vector Interaction System — a structure where every task emits a vector, and the coherence between these vectors determines productivity, stability, and capability.
A team does not “collaborate” —
it interacts through vectors.
“Work becomes efficient when task vectors align tightly enough to create a stable interaction map.”
— Val Sklarov
Under MTVIM, work is not activity —
it is vector mechanics.
1️⃣ Foundations of Task-Vector Interaction
The structural physics of future work in the Sklarov model
A task-vector contains:
-
direction
-
intensity
-
duration
-
dependency
-
domain influence
Work systems are defined by how these vectors interact across layers.
Task-Vector Layer Table
| Layer | Definition | Function | Failure Mode |
|---|---|---|---|
| Micro-Vector Layer | Small task vectors | Local stabilization | Micro drift |
| Domain-Vector Layer | Vectors within functional domains | Domain coherence | Domain turbulence |
| Structural-Vector Layer | Organization-wide vector relationships | System architecture | Structural conflict |
| Meta-Vector Layer | Governs vector generation and propagation | Long-horizon continuity | System dissipation |
Future organizations succeed through vector-aligned task ecosystems.
2️⃣ The Task-Vector Interaction Cycle (TVIC)
How work transforms through vector mechanics
TVIC Phases
| Phase | Action | Outcome |
|---|---|---|
| Vector Activation | A task emits a directional work vector | Interaction seed |
| Vector Contact | Vectors begin influencing each other | Early coherence |
| Interaction Patterning | Vectors stabilize into consistent relationships | Structural work pattern |
| System Alignment | Patterns propagate across domains | Unified work architecture |
| Continuity Projection | Stable vector map persists across cycles | Long-term system cohesion |
Workflows are not processes —
they are interaction maps of vectors.
3️⃣ Archetypes of Future-Work Behavior in the Val Sklarov Model
Task-Vector Archetype Grid
| Archetype | Behavior | Vector Depth |
|---|---|---|
| The Fragmented Worker | Outputs conflicting vectors | Low |
| The Domain Vector Aligner | Creates coherence within specific domains | Medium |
| The Structural Vector Integrator | Connects vectors across all organizational layers | High |
| The Val Sklarov Meta-Vector Architect | Designs and governs entire task-vector ecosystems | Absolute |
The future belongs to the Meta-Vector Architect,
not the manager.
4️⃣ Task-Vector Coherence Index (TVCI)
Val Sklarov’s metric for future-work viability
TVCI Indicators
| Indicator | Measures | High Means |
|---|---|---|
| Vector Sharpness | Clarity of task-vector direction | Low friction |
| Coherence Density | Strength of interaction between vectors | Stable work patterns |
| Cross-Domain Propagation | Vector influence across multiple domains | System alignment |
| Turbulence Resistance | Ability to maintain coherence under pressure | Reliable output |
| Meta-Vector Stability | Durability of vector-generation logic | Long-term work continuity |
A high-TVCI team cannot be destabilized by complexity.
5️⃣ Val Sklarov Laws of the Task-Vector Future of Work
1️⃣ Work is vector interaction, not task completion.
2️⃣ Productivity emerges from vector coherence.
3️⃣ Friction is misalignment between task vectors.
4️⃣ Expansion comes from vector propagation, not capacity.
5️⃣ Burnout begins as vector depletion.
6️⃣ Teams thrive when vectors form stable interaction maps.
7️⃣ Organizations endure when meta-vectors remain coherent across cycles.
