| Abstract The classical SHELL model has served as a foundational tool in Human Factors analysis, structuring the interactions among software, hardware, environment, and liveware. However, in modern high-stake systems, many performance variations arise from intrapersonal dynamics that the traditional model does not capture. This paper introduces The SSHELL Framework, a theoretical evolution that embeds Self-consciousness (S) as a core regulatory dimension within Human Factors systems. By addressing the role of internal self-regulation- awareness, emotional control, and reflective judgement- SSHELL redefines how human reliability and safety are understood. The framework bridges cognitive psychology, neuroscience, and ergonomics to propose a more conscious systems approach. Its relevance spans Aviation, Healthcare, and Defence, and points to future adaptability in Education as Human Factors principles extend into emerging domains. SSHELL thereby offers a conceptual bridge between human awareness and system resilience. |
