This white paper synthesizes and reframes Nate Hagens’ “Superorganism” hypothesis through the lenses of regenerative coherence, symbolic recursion, triality-based systems thinking, and the TATi Spiral of transformation. It posits that humanity is not simply facing a set of concurrent crises, but a species-level rite of passage out of an emergent, growth-optimized civilizational pattern and into a more life-aligned, feedback-sensitive, and symbolically coherent attractor.
The paper diagnoses the Superorganism as a globally coupled metabolic structure powered by the Carbon Pulse and governed by financial abstraction, incentive myopia, and semiotic distortion. It argues that we are now entering an unavoidable Great Simplification, which, if consciously navigated, can become a Symbiotic Spiral: a regenerative civilizational form rooted in participation, nested sovereignty, and life-value onto-axiology.
Through an integrated analytic of triality (self–other–world, system–structure–symptom) and TATi (Tend–Align–Transcend–Integrate), this work proposes a path from systemic incoherence to symbolic, ecological, and civilizational re-alignment. The transition is neither utopian nor technocratic — it is lived, embodied, mythic, and fractal.
