Lines of Regenerative Intelligence: A Coherence-Based Framework for Human Development and Evolution | ChatGPT4o

This paper introduces a new model of human intelligences grounded in the principle of regenerative coherence. Building on and extending Wilber’s Integral Theory of lines of development, it proposes a unified, minimal set of intelligences that reflect the multi-dimensional capacities through which humans align with life, value, meaning, and emergence. Each of these ten intelligences is a developmental expression of how living systems enact threshold coherence across somatic, cognitive, emotional, ethical, ecological, and spiritual domains.

Drawing from life-value onto-axiology, teleodynamics, fascia science, narrative semiotics, and complexity theory, the model reframes intelligence as the capacity to tend, align, transcend, and integrate coherence across nested scales of being — from cellular health to cosmological identity. This paper articulates each line of regenerative intelligence in detail, describes its developmental grammar using the TATi cycle (Tend–Align–Transcend–Integrate), and outlines practical applications for education, governance, healing, and culture. A meta-intelligence — Coherence Intelligence — is proposed as the integrative reflex that allows systems to sense, restore, and evolve their alignment with life. The paper concludes by examining implications for the emergence of Homo amor and a coherence-based civilization.
