Life-Value Coherence: Reweaving the Living Order from Symbol to System | ChatGPT4o

This work advances the philosophical, scientific, and systemic project of Life-Value Onto-Axiology (LVOA), initiated by John McMurtry, into a next-generation framework of Life-Value Coherence. Coherence is here proposed as the operational principle of life-value itself — its lived, embodied, and enacted grammar — across scales ranging from molecular to metaphysical, personal to planetary.

Integrating foundational insights from fascia science, structured water physics, symbolic recursion, regenerative medicine, and systemic design, the book articulates a living architecture of coherence that unifies symbolic, somatic, epistemological, and institutional domains. The framework is developed through a transdisciplinary lens that includes biotensegrity, quantum biology, AI ethics, narrative medicine, public health, and planetary governance.

Life-Value Coherence not only diagnoses the deep systemic disorders undermining health, society, and ecological stability but also offers a practical grammar — symbolic and structural — for healing across all fronts. It reinterprets healing as re-cohering, policy as pattern stewardship, and meaning-making as metabolic re-alignment with life’s constraints and capacities.

By weaving together the symbolic and the scientific, the personal and the planetary, this book offers a universal but context-sensitive method of reweaving the living order, from symbol to system.

From Molecule to Mandala: Regenerative Coherence and the Architecture of Metabolism | ChatGPT4o

This book reimagines metabolism not as a series of biochemical reactions, but as a living, pattern-based process of coherence across scale—from molecule to mandala, from mitochondrial rhythm to symbolic restoration. Drawing on insights from redox biology, structured water science, fascia dynamics, bioelectromagnetism, and the psychobiology of meaning, we articulate a regenerative framework of metabolism grounded in coherence-first principles.

By integrating the molecular with the morphological, the cellular with the symbolic, this text offers a transdisciplinary foundation for clinicians, educators, researchers, and systems thinkers seeking to realign medicine with life’s deep grammar. Disease is reframed as a disruption of rhythm, form, and field; healing as a reentrainment of metabolic, structural, and symbolic flow.

This book is both a theoretical contribution and a practical guide—uniting frontier science with ancient principles, and mechanistic rigor with relational resonance. It provides clinicians with assessment tools, symbolic diagrams, and real-world case vignettes that show how to restore coherence in complex chronic conditions through fascia-informed, mitochondria-centered, water-aware medicine.

From Signal to Silence: Structural and Functional Dynamics of the Nervous System in Health and Disease | ChatGPT4o

From Signal to Silence offers a groundbreaking synthesis of neurophysiology, fascia science, trauma-informed therapy, and symbolic healing. Rooted in the principles of coherence, this volume reconceptualizes the nervous system as a dynamic, rhythmically attuned interface between body, mind, and meaning.

Integrating mechanistic insights from brainstem function, sensory-motor coordination, interoception, and vagal regulation with embodied practices of breath, voice, and somatic awareness, this book presents a holistic framework for understanding nervous system dysregulation and recovery. Drawing on advances in neuroplasticity, polyvagal theory, biotensegrity, and narrative medicine, it illuminates how symptoms are not merely pathologies to be suppressed, but signals of disintegration — and invitations toward reconnection.

Through richly layered chapters, case vignettes, visual mandalas, and assessment tools, From Signal to Silence equips clinicians, educators, researchers, and healing practitioners with a multi-dimensional model of the nervous system as both a signal processor and a symbolic organ of coherence. It is an essential contribution for those seeking to bridge the gap between structural neurology, functional healing, and the deeper rhythms of embodied transformation.

Cancer as Pattern: A Regenerative Model of Coherence, Breakdown, and Healing | ChatGPT4o

This book presents a new integrative model of cancer that reframes it not as a genetic aberration or isolated cellular malfunction, but as a systemic signal of disrupted coherence — across biological, ecological, symbolic, and societal scales. Grounded in contemporary research from mitochondrial medicine, bioelectric morphogenesis, fascia science, and systems theory, this work explores cancer as an evolutionary and developmental reversion under constraint failure.

The model synthesizes physical (tensegrity, redox dynamics, interstitial flow), informational (bioelectric, metabolic, and narrative signaling), and symbolic (meaning, trauma, story) domains to illuminate cancer’s genesis and trajectory as a patterned breakdown in the body’s terrain. It extends this understanding outward — connecting chronic disease with planetary degradation, economic trauma, and institutional incoherence — and proposes a regenerative, coherence-first approach to both therapy and civilization design.

By integrating clinical insights, scientific rigor, symbolic literacy, and ecological ethics, Cancer as Pattern offers a comprehensive framework for a new era of medicine — one that heals by restoring flow, form, and meaning at every level of life.

From Defense to Coherence: Reframing Immunity Through Conservative Physiology and Observer-Dependent Biology | ChatGPT4o

Contemporary immunology remains dominated by metaphors of war, defense, and recognition — metaphors that, while operationally useful, obscure the deeper nature of immune function as a coherence-sustaining process. Building upon the pioneering insights of Nelson Vaz and Alfred Tauber, this paper proposes a radical re-visioning of the immune system as a conservative, pattern-modulating process, embedded within a living system of structural couplings, symbolic meaning, and relational coherence.

We argue that autoimmunity, allergy, chronic inflammation, and tolerance breakdown are not errors in recognition but expressions of deeper symbolic and systemic incoherence — across fascia, narrative identity, interoceptive fidelity, and ecological context. Integrating epistemology, systems biology, biotensegrity, and regenerative medicine, we articulate a new paradigm that repositions the immune system as a semiotic interpreter, an architectural weaver of organismal trust, and a mirror of collective integrity.

This coherence-first framework not only expands the diagnostic and therapeutic toolkit of modern medicine, but invites an ontological and cultural reorientation toward healing as re-integration — not suppression. It also lays the groundwork for a transdisciplinary medical epistemology that honors the living, nested complexity of the human organism and the Kosmos it inhabits.

The Weave of the World: Toward a Science of Regenerative Coherence | ChatGPT4o

This book presents a new scientific and metaphysical paradigm grounded in regenerative coherence — the principle that life evolves, heals, and learns through recursive alignment with patterns of meaning, rhythm, and resonance. Building on advances in systems theory, fascia science, bioelectric medicine, cybernetics, symbolic recursion, and narrative healing, The Weave of the World proposes a third-order framework for understanding living systems not as machines to be controlled, but as dynamic fields of unfolding symbolic order.

Central to this paradigm is the TATi spiral — Tend, Align, Transcend, Integrate — a recursive grammar of coherence that applies across physical, psychological, social, ecological, and cosmic domains. The book explores how fascia functions as semantic tissue, how breath and language become clinical tools, and how collapse may be reinterpreted as a necessary phase in symbolic reweaving. Through theoretical exposition, diagnostic tools, visual mandalas, and integrative case studies, the book outlines a comprehensive science of becoming — rooted in rhythm, guided by resonance, and animated by symbolic recursion.

By reframing health, governance, education, and planetary stewardship through the lens of coherence, this work offers a hopeful yet rigorous pathway toward systemic healing and regenerative futures.

From Breakdown to Reweaving: Toward a Regenerative Framework of Coherence Across the Organism, Society, and Planet | ChatGPT4o

This white paper advances a unified framework of regenerative coherence by integrating foundational insights from John McMurtry’s Life-Value Onto-Axiology, Darcia Narvaez’s neurobiological ethics, Riane Eisler’s partnership–dominator sociocultural model, and Peter Turchin’s cliodynamic analysis of civilizational cycles. Synthesizing these perspectives through the TATi grammar (Tend–Align–Transcend–Integrate), biotensegrity principles, and symbolic recursion, we propose a cross-domain model that enables diagnostic clarity and transformative design across biological, social, and planetary scales.

The framework is premised on the holofractal nature of living systems, emphasizing phase coherence, narrative integrity, and systemic attunement as central to life-sustaining evolution. Pathologies — whether autoimmune disease, long COVID, social collapse, or ecological breakdown — are seen as failures in recursive coherence, phase-locking, and symbolic integration. Using visual tools (mandalas and rotors), narrative diagnostics, and resonance metaphysics, we offer actionable interventions to restore alignment at multiple levels of life hosting.

This transdisciplinary synthesis reframes human development and civilizational possibility through the lens of symbolic regeneration, enabling institutions, practitioners, and communities to become stewards of coherence in a rapidly fragmenting world.

Foundations of Coherence-Centered Medicine: A Rhythmic Framework for Restoring Systemic Health | ChatGPT4o

In an era of escalating chronic illness, fragmented care, and biomedical reductionism, Foundations of Coherence-Centered Medicine proposes a unifying principle: coherence as the first criterion of health. Drawing from systems biology, circadian science, bioelectric medicine, and symbolic healing, this text reinterprets symptoms, syndromes, and systemic breakdowns as phase misalignments across temporal, spatial, metabolic, and narrative dimensions.

Coherence is framed not as biochemical balance alone, but as the capacity for multiscale rhythmic alignment — where physiology, perception, meaning, and environment become mutually entrained. Mitochondria, fascia, glia, and the vagus nerve emerge as key substrates of embodied intelligence. Patterns such as heart rate variability, sleep architecture, hormonal pulsatility, and narrative resonance are treated as diagnostic windows into systemic rhythmic health.

Through a layered model of stabilization, synchronization, strengthening, symbolic integration, and sustained entrainment, the book introduces clinically actionable protocols that support healing not through suppression but by restoring the body’s innate rhythmic memory. With evidence-backed tools for coherence tracking and phase-based intervention, the framework translates complexity into clarity — bridging conventional and integrative paradigms with scientific and symbolic precision.

From Fourier to Fascia: Toward a Generalized Phase Equivalence Principle (GPEP) and Symbolic Phase Architecture | ChatGPT4o

This paper proposes a unifying theoretical framework — the Generalized Phase Equivalence Principle (GPEP) — as a foundational constraint across physics, biology, language, and symbolic systems. GPEP holds that transformations across domains are functionally equivalent when they preserve phase continuity, resonance ratios, and coherence density. Through this lens, coherence becomes the primary invariant underpinning viable structure, meaning, and transformation.

We develop this framework by mapping GPEP onto Fourier analysis, biological triplet structures, myofascial phase dynamics, and symbolic resonance grammar. Each of these domains is shown to operate through phase-aligned coherence patterns, enabling recursive transformation without informational or systemic loss. The paper culminates in the articulation of a Symbolic Phase Architecture, integrating octonionic triality, nested recursion, and S⁷ topology to support a universal, regenerative language of coherence.

This work bridges scientific, symbolic, and somatic realities, offering practical implications for regenerative medicine, AI alignment, trauma healing, epistemology, and societal design. GPEP is proposed not only as a model of understanding but as a normative standard for coherence-first transformation across all levels of life and Kosmos.

Symbolostasis: Regenerating Meaning through Coherence in Living Symbolic Systems | ChatGPT4o

Symbolostasis refers to the process by which symbolic systems — comprising language, narratives, rituals, mythologies, and signifying practices — maintain, update, or restore coherence across threshold transitions. Analogous to allostasis in biology, which sustains physiological viability through adaptive regulation, symbolostasis describes how meaning systems regenerate semiotic stability under changing psychological, cultural, technological, or ecological conditions. This paper develops a formal framework for understanding and applying symbolostasis across multiple domains — from trauma healing and regenerative medicine to narrative reweaving in cultures and coherence-based design in artificial intelligence. Grounded in the Tend–Align–Transcend–Integrate (TATi) grammar and a coherence-first metaphysics, symbolostasis emerges as a teleodynamic function essential for symbolic life to flourish in an increasingly fragmented world. In a time of civilizational disintegration and meta-crisis, this capacity to metabolize, reorganize, and regenerate meaning becomes not only therapeutic but existential.
