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.

Standing Against Injustice: Applying Desmond Tutu’s Wisdom to the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict | ChatGPT4o

In the annals of moral philosophy and human rights advocacy, few voices resonate as powerfully as that of Archbishop Desmond Tutu. His unwavering commitment to justice and equality provided profound insights into the human condition and the ethical imperatives that arise when confronting oppression. Among his many impactful statements, one stands out for its stark clarity: “If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality.”

This statement holds particular resonance when applied to the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict, a deeply entrenched struggle marked by significant power imbalances, historical grievances, and ongoing injustices. Understanding and applying Tutu’s wisdom in this context is crucial for anyone seeking to promote genuine peace and justice in the region.

Archbishop Desmond Tutu’s profound wisdom compels us to recognize that neutrality in the face of injustice is not a stance of impartiality but one of complicity. In the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, this means acknowledging the significant power imbalances and systemic injustices that perpetuate the suffering of Palestinians. By taking a stand for justice, promoting equitable solutions, and supporting human rights, we can work towards genuine peace and reconciliation in this deeply divided region. Only through active engagement and a commitment to justice can we honor the legacy of leaders like Tutu and move towards a future where both Israelis and Palestinians can live in peace and dignity.

Riane Eisler: Shifting from societies of domination to partnerism (2021) | greendreamer.com

“There are four cornerstones that we really must work on to shift from domination to partnership: childhood, gender, economics — going past capitalist and socialist theory to a caring economics of partnerism — and different stories and language.”

— DR. RIANE EISLER

Why are the major social binaries inadequate in explaining the basis of our varied injustices? What is needed to translate our relational shifts from domination to partnerism into structural shifts in our societal configuration?

In this episode, we welcome Dr. Riane Eisler, a systems scientist, futurist, attorney, and macro-historian whose research, writing, and speaking have transformed the lives of people worldwide. She is president of the Center for Partnership Systems (CPS), Editor-in-Chief of the Interdisciplinary Journal of Partnership Studies at the University of Minnesota, and author of Nurturing Our Humanity: How Domination and Partnership Shape Our Brains, Lives, and Future (co-authored with anthropologist Douglas Fry), showing how the social and biological sciences, especially neuroscience, support the findings from her research. Her other books include The Chalice and The Blade: Our History, Our Future, Sacred Pleasure, and The Real Wealth of Nations: Creating a Caring Economics, hailed by Nobel Peace.

HUMAN POSSIBILITIES: AN INTEGRATED SYSTEMS APPROACH | RIANE EISLER

A basic principle of systems theory is that if we do not look at the whole of a system, we cannot see the connections between its various components. This article describes the author’s personal and research journey developing a new method of inquiry and a new theory of cultural evolution that takes into account the whole of our history (including prehistory), the whole of our species (both its male and female halves), and the whole of social relations (from politics and economics to family and other intimate relations). It reveals connections and patterns not visible using smaller data bases and casts a new, more hopeful, light on our past, present, and the possibilities for our future.

Societal Contexts for Family Relations: Development, Violence and Stress | Raine Eisler (2016)

The effect of families on whether children do or do not flourish has long been recognized by psychology. However, families do not spring up in isolation from their social, economic, and cultural contexts. As the primary means of socialization, families have to prepare children to function in their larger cultural context. In other words, what we are dealing with is not a matter of simple causes and effects but of mutually supporting interactive systems dynamics.

Analyzing these interactive dynamics has been the focus of my multi-disciplinary cross-cultural historical study of human societies. (Eisler, 1987; 1995; 2000; 2007) This study led to the identification of two underlying cultural configurations that transcend conventional categories such as religious vs. secular, Eastern vs. Western, preindustrial vs. industrial, or rightist vs. leftist: the partnership system and the domination system.

No society is a pure domination or partnership system. However, as I will briefly develop in this chapter, the degree to which a society orients to either end of the partnership/domination continuum affects the kinds of beliefs and behaviors people consider normal or abnormal, moral or immoral, and even possible or impossible – with profound implications for whether or not children flourish.
