Healthcare systems worldwide are facing compounding crises — rising chronic disease, mental health deterioration, practitioner burnout, public distrust, and ecological breakdown. These symptoms are not isolated pathologies but expressions of a deeper disorder: the fragmentation of functional coherence across living systems.
This book offers a rigorous and integrative response: the Kosmic life-functions framework — a seven-part model rooted in the foundational operations that sustain life across scales. These life-functions are:
- Pulse – Rhythmic exchange and energetic flow
- Boundary – Integrity through differentiation and protection
- Perception – Signal attunement and meaningful responsiveness
- Integration – Memory, narrative, and wholeness over time
- Nourishment – Receiving and metabolizing what sustains life
- Transformation – Adaptive regeneration through disruption
- Participation – Belonging to and co-creating with greater wholes
This framework is drawn from interdisciplinary sources — biosemiotics, complexity theory, trauma-informed practice, regenerative systems science, and life-value ethics — unified into a coherent grammar of health, healing, and human flourishing.
The book is structured in five parts:
- Part I identifies the crisis of coherence and introduces the life-functions.
- Part II grounds the model in contemporary science and ontological philosophy.
- Part III explores each life-function in depth — biologically, psychologically, and systemically.
- Part IV applies the framework to regenerative clinical practice, healthcare system design, and patient-practitioner relationships.
- Part V extends its application to epistemology, governance, economics, culture, and civilization.
Intended for clinicians, researchers, educators, and system designers, Regenerating Coherence is more than a model — it is a call to reorient all healing professions around the living logic of life itself. It concludes with a sacred grammar of care and coherence — a new ethos for an emergent civilization aligned with grace, meaning, and the regenerative intelligence of the Kosmos.
