This white paper introduces MACA (Making America Coherent Again) as a regenerative framework for healing the systemic fragmentation afflicting American society. While the twin slogans of MAGA (Make America Great Again) and MAHA (Make America Healthy Again) reflect real needs — for sovereignty and well-being — MACA points to the deeper integrative need: coherence.
Coherence is defined here as the systemic alignment of life across individual, social, ecological, economic, and symbolic domains. This paper integrates insights from Life-Value Onto-Axiology, biosemiotics, teleodynamics, Integral Theory, trauma-informed systems, and regenerative design to offer a new compass for public policy, governance, health, education, media, and civic participation.
Moving beyond critique, MACA charts a constructive path forward through a series of coherence-based principles and practical proposals — ranging from a National Coherence Index to symbolic rituals for collective healing. It concludes with a new civic declaration: life, liberty, and coherence for all.
