From Survival to Coherence: A Regenerative Manifesto for Systems Transformation offers a bold reorientation of our most essential systems — from health and education to economics and governance — through the lens of coherence. Rather than framing pathology and breakdown as mere dysfunctions, it reveals them as symbolic signals of systemic misalignment, tracing the evolutionary missteps and developmental ruptures that have diverted human societies into chronic survival mode.
The manifesto draws on a new physiological metaphor of coherence, derived from fascia science, neuroendocrine-vascular integration, mitochondrial signaling, immune complexity, and symbolic time dynamics. This “holofractal” patterning is then extended to culture at large, asserting that our social institutions must mirror the logic of regenerative healing if they are to endure.
Section by section, it critiques the incoherence of modern systems — our disjointed food chains, trauma-perpetuating schools, extractive economies, and command-control governance — and proposes in their place a living architecture of coherence. This includes decentralized, adaptive, symbolic, life-valuing structures that harmonize inner and outer rhythms, personal agency and collective evolution.
The final call is not merely theoretical. It is existential.
We are invited to become not only witnesses, but participants in a regenerative renaissance. Not just thinkers of new worlds — but weavers of new patterns. This is not a return to nature, nor an escape from culture — but a transmutation of both, through embodied coherence.
Coherence is not a state. It is a way of being.
And it begins — always — with the next aligned action.
