Humanity is facing not multiple crises but a single, systemic disorder: the global breakdown of coherence across biological, ecological, social, economic, and informational systems. Climate destabilization, chronic disease, biodiversity collapse, digital manipulation, democratic erosion, and intergenerational injustice all stem from the same underlying architecture — a civilization built on extraction, fragmentation, and short-termism.
This book introduces the Coherence Operating System (Coherence OS), a new governance paradigm shaped by the science of complex systems, developmental biology, systems ecology, social neuroscience, Indigenous worldviews, and the mathematics of relational patterns. Coherence OS redefines governance around four conditions for flourishing: viable bodies, viable communities, viable ecosystems, and viable futures.
The book offers technical and philosophical foundations; a comprehensive policy and legal blueprint; a replacement for Investor–State Dispute Settlement (ISDS) through the Life Tribunal; a metrics architecture for cumulative and intergenerational harm; digital and biotech governance frameworks; economic and financial redesign; and a Caribbean SIDS implementation playbook demonstrating how small nations can lead global transformation.
The Coherence OS reveals that life has always operated by relational grammar — patterns of resonance, reciprocity, and regeneration across scales. When governance aligns with those patterns, societies flourish. When it diverges, collapse accelerates. This work charts a pathway toward a life-coherent civilization rooted in truth, responsibility, and the interdependence of all beings.
