The Missing Grammar of Modern Civilization: Civilizational Healing, Artificial Intelligence, and the Passage from Fragmentation to Reflexive Integration

Civilizational Healing is proposed as an integrative grammar—not a master theory or social cure. The work confronts eugenics, paternalism, normalization, and totalization, and presents AI as a historical hinge: either amplifying subsystem optimization or supporting governed collective reflexivity.
