From System Disorder to Life Coherence: Enacting McMurtry’s Legacy for Health, Society, and Planetary Regeneration | ChatGPT4o & NotebookLM

The global health crisis — marked by metabolic disease, ecological collapse, institutional paralysis, and spiritual disorientation — is not a convergence of unrelated challenges, but symptoms of a deeper systemic disorder. This white paper responds to that disorder by extending the philosophical legacy of John McMurtry’s Primary Axiom of Value, which defines all true value as that which sustains and advances life itself. We identify transnational financial capital as the deep structural driver of regulatory incoherence, explore obesity and chronic disease as embodied expressions of civilizational misalignment, and outline a comprehensive, life-coherence–centered framework for systemic renewal. Drawing from McMurtry’s value theory, Marvin Harris’s cultural materialism, current biomedical research, and AI-informed symbolic diagnostics, we offer a practical and philosophical roadmap for planetary regeneration through public health, governance reform, narrative sovereignty, and institutional redesign.

Cancer as Pattern: A Regenerative Model of Coherence, Breakdown, and Healing | ChatGPT4o

This book presents a new integrative model of cancer that reframes it not as a genetic aberration or isolated cellular malfunction, but as a systemic signal of disrupted coherence — across biological, ecological, symbolic, and societal scales. Grounded in contemporary research from mitochondrial medicine, bioelectric morphogenesis, fascia science, and systems theory, this work explores cancer as an evolutionary and developmental reversion under constraint failure.

The model synthesizes physical (tensegrity, redox dynamics, interstitial flow), informational (bioelectric, metabolic, and narrative signaling), and symbolic (meaning, trauma, story) domains to illuminate cancer’s genesis and trajectory as a patterned breakdown in the body’s terrain. It extends this understanding outward — connecting chronic disease with planetary degradation, economic trauma, and institutional incoherence — and proposes a regenerative, coherence-first approach to both therapy and civilization design.

By integrating clinical insights, scientific rigor, symbolic literacy, and ecological ethics, Cancer as Pattern offers a comprehensive framework for a new era of medicine — one that heals by restoring flow, form, and meaning at every level of life.
