From 9/11 to Gaza: The Atrocity Playbook at Planetary Scale | ChatGPT5 & NotebookLM

This paper argues that atrocity events such as 9/11 and the October 7, 2023 Hamas attack on Israel follow a recurring systemic grammar: shock, trauma, narrative policing, systemic payoff for ruling interests, and suppression of life-value considerations. Drawing on John McMurtry’s life-value framework, the paper conceptualizes this as the atrocity playbook — a repeatable pattern through which the money sequence of value overrides the life sequence of value. While 9/11 exemplifies the paradigm, Gaza marks a new threshold: for the first time, international institutions such as the UN and ICC have named genocide while atrocities are ongoing, directly challenging the ruling group-mind on a planetary scale. The analysis concludes that humanity now faces a civilizational choice: remain trapped in atrocity-pretext politics or move toward a coherence-first planetary framework grounded in McMurtry’s Primary Axiom of Value.

From Coordination to Coherence: Realigning Life, Language, and Systems for a Regenerative Future | ChatGPT5 & NotebookLM

We are living through a coherence crisis. Our collective symbolic systems — the languages, institutions, technologies, and economic logics through which humanity coordinates — have drifted out of phase with the autopoietic rhythms of life. While our capacity for second-order coordination through shared meaning has enabled vast social holons — families, economies, nations, religions — this symbolic power carries hidden risks. When our meaning systems decouple from biological realities, they produce structural and cultural violence, invisibly undermining the universal life necessities that sustain us.

This white paper integrates insights from Humberto Maturana’s autopoiesis, Arthur Koestler’s holons, Ken Wilber’s social holons, Johan Galtung’s positive peace framework, and John McMurtry’s Life-Value Onto-Axiology (LVOA) to map a path forward. It argues that humanity now requires third-order coordination: the conscious redesign of our symbolic architectures — metrics, narratives, and institutions — to phase-lock with life’s regenerative processes.

By centering LVOA’s Primary Axiom of Value — that good is what enables or enhances life capacity — the paper proposes a framework for aligning meaning, systems, and technologies with the nested coherence of living systems. Through this lens, we explore pathways to positive peace, regenerative economies, and institutional redesign, offering practical tools for individuals, communities, and policymakers to realign human systems with life’s capacity to flourish.

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.

Toward a Life-Coherent Foreign Policy: A Life-Value Onto-Axiological Critique and Regenerative Framework for U.S. Global Engagement | ChatGPT4o

This white paper presents a rigorous critique of United States foreign policy through the lens of Life-Value Onto-Axiology (LVOA) — a normative ethical framework that grounds all value in the capacity to sustain, develop, and protect life systems. Drawing from philosophical foundations, empirical case studies, and interdisciplinary insights, the paper reveals how prevailing U.S. foreign policy practices — including militarism, sanctions, regime change, and ecological negligence — consistently undermine human and ecological life-capacity across the globe.

Using LVOA’s Primary Axiom of Value — that which enables life is good, and that which disables it is not — we assess historical and ongoing policy failures across six domains: war and militarization, economic warfare, sovereignty violations, climate inaction, human rights double standards, and cultural imperialism. Each domain is examined through detailed case studies, revealing structural patterns of harm, destabilization, and long-term incoherence.

The paper then advances a comprehensive set of principles for regenerative foreign policy, including mutual life-flourishing, civil commons investment, reparative diplomacy, biocentric security, relational sovereignty, and intergenerational justice. It offers actionable policy recommendations — short, mid, and long-term — to guide the transition toward a life-coherent global engagement strategy.

In conclusion, the paper argues that only by reorienting U.S. foreign policy toward life-value coherence can the nation recover its moral credibility, fulfill its global responsibilities, and provide ethical leadership in an age of planetary interdependence. A regenerative foreign policy is not only ethically necessary — it is strategically imperative.

From Locke to Life: A Manifesto for Regenerative Governance | ChatGPT4o

From Locke to Life: A Manifesto for Regenerative Governance offers a comprehensive critique and reconstitution of the philosophical foundations of modern political economy. Tracing the legacy of John Locke’s social contract, property theory, and liberal individualism, the book exposes how these once-liberatory ideas have come to underwrite systemic ecological degradation, structural inequality, and political illegitimacy in the contemporary era.

In response, the text advances a new onto-axiological framework — Life-Value Onto-Axiology (LVOA) — which grounds legitimacy, rights, value, and governance in the universal requirements of life itself. Rejecting abstractions such as GDP, market price, and procedural consent as sufficient evaluative criteria, the manifesto centers life coherence — the capacity of systems to sustain, develop, and regenerate shared life conditions — as the ultimate standard of assessment.

Through rigorous philosophical analysis and systemic synthesis, the book redefines key political concepts: rights become entitlements to life goods; property becomes stewardship; freedom becomes enabled agency; and government becomes a steward of regenerative provisioning rather than an enforcer of possessive individualism. It offers a roadmap for civilizational transition through institutional redesign, cultural transformation, and the reconstruction of a life-grounded social contract.

Intended for scholars, policymakers, and regenerative practitioners, From Locke to Life articulates both a critique of modernity’s terminal incoherence and a principled vision for its transformation. It affirms that a viable future demands more than reform — it requires a fundamental realignment of our systems, values, and selves with the coherence of life itself.
