Cancer is not a cellular mistake — it is a systemic message.
This book challenges the reigning paradigm of cancer as a genetically driven disease and instead proposes a regenerative framework rooted in coherence. Drawing upon decades of interdisciplinary research, Cancer as Pattern unfolds in six parts:
Part I: Foundations of Coherence and Disruption
We begin by reviewing the limitations of mutation-centric models and introduce coherence as a primary organizing principle. Cancer is reframed as a developmental reversion — an evolutionary fallback triggered by the collapse of regulatory constraints.
Part II: Multiscale Breakdowns in Cancer
This section maps the cascading breakdowns in fascia (biotensegrity), mitochondria (metabolic coherence), and bioelectric fields (morphogenetic signaling), culminating in a disordered tumor microenvironment. Cancer is shown to emerge not from rogue cells, but from collapsed patterns of form and flow.
Part III: Systemic, Ecological, and Planetary Drivers
Here, we expand the model to include environmental toxins, nutritional degeneration, trauma, psychosocial stress, economic hardship, and institutional incoherence. Cancer is revealed as a mirror of systemic terrain degradation and civilizational misalignment.
Part IV: A New Framework — Regenerative Coherence
This section presents the TATi model of phased breakdown and healing, explores how coherence can be restored across mechanical, metabolic, and symbolic dimensions, and proposes a new nosology based on terrain function and pattern integrity.
Part V: Clinical Applications and Case Integrations
We introduce diagnostic tools based on coherence patterning, coherence-based biomarkers, multimodal therapies for terrain repatterning, and case studies of remission through metabolic, mechanical, and narrative realignment.
Part VI: Implications for a Regenerative Civilization
Finally, we invite a cultural and civilizational reframing: moving from the war-on-cancer metaphor to one of terrain stewardship, meaning-making, and pattern restoration. The body becomes not a battleground but a portal — a fractal of planetary life needing coherence, not conquest.
Cancer as Pattern is both an academic contribution and a philosophical shift. It offers clinicians, researchers, and systems thinkers a new lens — one that sees cancer not as the enemy but as a whisper from the deep pattern of life, asking us to remember how to heal.
