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.
