Companion to the hard science fiction novel Echoes Burn.The Echoes Burn Interdisciplinary Framework is a free, open educational resource built around a flexible "e;plug-and-play"e; design, allowing educators to use individual modules independently or combine them into broader interdisciplinary programs. Using the novel as a primary narrative case, it explores philosophy, ethics, artificial intelligence, psychology, strategic studies, astrophysics, information theory, media studies, and related fields.Beyond twenty self-contained interdisciplinary chapter modules, the framework includes the original philosophical essay Teleological Persistence: The Inertia of the Self, the author's reflective essay Stoically Defiant Humanism, and a complete creative writing process study built around the original short story False Silence, including research notes, plotting, drafting, stylistic comparisons, and editorial analysis.Published under the Creative Commons Attribution–ShareAlike 4.0 (CC BY-SA 4.0) licence, the framework functions as both a standalone educational resource and a companion to the novel Echoes Burn.
