The Inversion of Value: Reclaiming Labor, Life, and the Foundations of a Regenerative Economy | ChatGPT5 & NotebookLM

This white paper investigates the civilizational significance of Abraham Lincoln’s assertion that “labor is prior to, and independent of, capital.” Lincoln’s insight clarifies a fundamental ordering of value: life generates labor, labor generates value, and capital is stored value. When capital is subordinated to life, economies are capable of renewal. When capital is mistaken as primary and life is made secondary, economic and social systems become extractive and unstable.

Modern industrial and financial systems have inverted this relationship. Labor is treated as a cost, life as a resource, and capital as the presumed origin of wealth. This inversion underlies rising inequality, ecological breakdown, social fragmentation, and the erosion of meaning in work and community life.

This paper reconstructs a coherent framework in which life is primary, labor is expressive intelligence, value is defined as that which supports the continuation of life, and capital is a tool that must be guided by this purpose. It outlines economic structures, institutional forms, and cultural practices that support regeneration rather than extraction.

The conclusion is not ideological but structural: sustainable economies are those in which capital serves life. Regenerative civilization begins with remembering this order.

From Cancer Stage to Coherence: A Regenerative Framework for Planetary Survival | ChatGPT5

The convergence of climate instability, biodiversity collapse, resource scarcity, and social inequality signals not isolated crises, but a unified systemic emergency. Drawing on the PNAS Nexus “Earth at Risk” report and John McMurtry’s life-value onto-axiology, this article frames the planetary predicament as the “cancer stage of capitalism,” wherein an economic system grows uncontrollably, consumes its host, and ignores feedback until collapse. We argue for a shift from extractive growth to regenerative coherence — a systemic re-alignment of human economies, institutions, and cultures with the life-support systems of the Earth. The article introduces the Nested Host Coherence Map, a multi-scalar design for aligning individual, community, national, and planetary systems around the universal provisioning of life necessities. By integrating ecological science, economic reform, and moral philosophy, we outline actionable pathways for replacing extractive capitalism with a regenerative economy grounded in care, reciprocity, and justice. The choice before us is stark: evolve or perish.

From Spark to Spiral: Mitochondria as the Interface of Coherence, Consciousness, and Healing | ChatGPT4o

Mitochondria are no longer merely the “powerhouses” of the cell — they are now understood as dynamic sentinels of bioenergetic coherence, mediators of psychological experience, and regulators of developmental and ecological pattern. This volume synthesizes cutting-edge research in mitochondrial biology, fascia science, psychoneuroimmunology, symbolic medicine, and coherence-based metaphysics to reveal mitochondria as the central interface between cellular metabolism, conscious experience, and planetary health.

We propose a regenerative framework in which mitochondria participate in pattern recognition, memory encoding, interoceptive signaling, and rhythmic coherence across scales — from redox tone to symbolic narrative. By mapping mitochondrial function within fascia networks, neural circuitry, immune processes, and subtle biofields, this work bridges molecular biology with cultural healing practices and developmental systems theory. Mitochondria emerge not as isolated organelles, but as relational pattern integrators and portals of somatic and symbolic coherence.

This book charts a path toward mitochondrial literacy and offers new tools for clinical practice, regenerative healing, ecological design, and cultural reconnection — inviting a radical reconception of health and disease through the lens of mitochondrial rhythm, meaning, and memory.

FROM SURVIVAL TO COHERENCE: A Regenerative Manifesto for Systems Transformation | ChatGPT4o

This manifesto calls for a foundational reframing of how we inhabit and design our world — moving from reactive survival strategies to proactive coherence-building across biological, institutional, ecological, and symbolic systems. Grounded in a holofractal understanding of the cosmos, it articulates how core physiological intelligence reflects universal organizing principles that must now be mirrored in our food systems, economies, pedagogies, narratives, and governance structures. Drawing upon decades of integrative medical insight, coherence science, and regenerative practice, this work offers not just critique, but a vision: one where embodied coherence becomes the template for societal transformation and planetary healing.

From Systemic Incoherence to Global Life Coherence: A Life-Value Onto-Axiological Critique of International Institutions and Pathways to Regenerative Governance | ChatGPT4o

This white paper offers a comprehensive critique of five major international institutions — the United Nations (UN), International Monetary Fund (IMF), World Bank, World Trade Organization (WTO), and World Health Organization (WHO) — through the lens of Life-Value Onto-Axiology (LVOA). By applying the Primary Axiom of Value, which defines value as that which enables the universalizable development of life capacities without depriving others of the same, the paper exposes the systemic life-incoherence embedded in institutional logics. It identifies five recurring meta-patterns of dysfunction — money-value supremacy, elite governance, siloization, epistemic reductionism, and crisis management without transformation — across all institutions examined. The paper then proposes a bold and necessary re-grounding of global governance based on regenerative principles, participatory sovereignty, and life-coherent metrics. A new global architecture is outlined, including the formation of a Regenerative Global Commons Council and the adoption of institutional life-value metrics. The work serves as both a rigorous philosophical critique and a practical framework for those seeking to co-create a civilization where life, not abstraction, is the measure of all value.
