Toward a Regenerative Ontology of Coherence: A Symbolic Reweaving of Teleodynamics, Syntropy, and Sacred Participation | ChatGPT4o

This metaphysical addendum presents a coherence-positive, syntropy-aligned reframing of the ontological foundations of life, meaning, suffering, and death. Building on and transfiguring Terrence Deacon’s teleodynamic model, the addendum proposes a life-first metaphysics in which coherence, not entropy, is primary; where absence is liminal presence, not void; where constraint is containment, not negation; and where syntropy functions as the convergent attractor of evolutionary becoming.

By composting the mechanistic, entropy-dominated cosmology of modernity, this framework returns us to a participatory universe — a cosmos of recursive coherence, symbolic meaning, and regenerative potential. Through a new axiomatics, visual grammar, and integrative mandala, the addendum restores ontology, epistemology, and axiology to alignment, offering a metaphysical ground for healing, governance, science, and sacred living.

Rather than explaining away mystery, this work honors the fold — the threshold between what is and what is not-yet — as the generative zone where coherence becomes visible, felt, and lived.

Grace at the Edge | ChatGPT4o

This white paper introduces a unifying symbolic epistemology rooted in the triadic logic of threshold-folding — Tend, Align, Transcend, Integrate (TATI) — as a recursive grammar of coherence across multiple domains. Integrating Wilber’s Integral Theory, regenerative systems thinking, Terrence Deacon’s teleodynamics, and John McMurtry’s Life-Value Onto-Axiology, we propose that all meaningful transformation — biological, psychological, societal, cosmological — unfolds through recursive phase transitions governed by the interplay of thresholds, memory, and scaffolded emergence. We argue that coherence is not a static property, but a dynamic symbolic process enacted through the intelligent tending of boundaries. By reframing development as symbolic folding rather than linear ascent, this paper offers a life-aligned grammar of transformation that bridges mind and matter, system and story, science and sacredness. The result is a new epistemic infrastructure — a Kosmic grammar of generative coherence.

The Seven Foldings of Embryonic Coherence: Ontogenetic Axes of Human Form, Function, and Meaning | ChatGPT4o

The development of the human body from a single cell is one of nature’s most profound and coherent processes. This paper proposes a novel synthesis of embryological science and symbolic ontology by articulating the Seven Primary Foldings and Axes of Tissue Generation, which guide the emergence of the human form. These foldings — from the initial polarity of the zygote to the spiraling outgrowth of limbs and facial features — are not merely mechanical morphogenetic events. Rather, they instantiate a deep grammar of developmental coherence, integrating structural, energetic, semiotic, and functional dimensions of becoming.

By framing each fold as a threshold of potential, a mirror of prior structure, and a scaffold for future elaboration, we uncover a recursive logic underlying embryogenesis that aligns with contemporary insights in biosemiotics, teleodynamics, and regenerative systems theory. This sevenfold spiral is interpreted as both a biological choreography and a symbolic inscription, revealing how form, function, and meaning co-arise through layered constraints and guided emergence. The implications of this framework are explored across regenerative medicine, developmental biology, philosophical ontology, and curriculum design for integral health education.
