Modelo procesual del vínculo humano

This essay proposes a processual model of human bonding, describing the universal stages and structural logic of interpersonal relationships. Using everyday terms—“salir” (dating), “pareja” (couple), “noviazgo” (engagement), “casamiento” (marriage)—as temporal and functional phases, the model outlines an evolutionary sequence where each stage builds upon the previous, moving from initial attraction and exploration to exclusivity, cohabitation, and long-term commitment. Physical attraction is posited as the necessary starting point, leading to increasingly integrated bonds. A key thesis is that betrayal after the "noviazgo" stage constitutes an ontological rupture, transforming the known person into a stranger. The work engages with thinkers from Aristotle to Fromm, arguing that the model reflects a deep, cross-cultural logic of human attachment rather than a local norm, ultimately pointing toward the possibility of a permanent, unconditional connection.
