SpiroLateral’s Fractal Engine: The Power of Non-Linear Logic SpiroLateral operates on a fractal engine, a recursive, self-similar pattern of logic that allows for adaptive, non-linear problem-solving. Unlike traditional hierarchical or linear models of reasoning—which rely on fixed stages, categorical separation, and binary logic—SpiroLateral’s fractal logic framework is designed to reflect the way complex systems naturallyContinue reading “SpiroLateral’s Fractal Engine: The Power of Non-Linear Logic”

Nervous System Fragmentation in Unstable Emotional Environments: The Autistic Double Burden
In childhood, consistent emotional attunement from caregivers is essential for developing a cohesive, regulated nervous system. When a child grows up in an emotionally unpredictable or unsafe environment, their nervous system adapts in self-protective ways, leading to fragmentation—a process where the child’s physiological states (fight, flight, freeze, fawn) become disconnected rather than integrated. How FragmentationContinue reading “Nervous System Fragmentation in Unstable Emotional Environments: The Autistic Double Burden”

Below is the structural breakdown: Each of these elements interacts dynamically, meaning that conflict in one domain (e.g., economic oppression) often mirrors unresolved tensions in another (e.g., individual trauma, historical narratives, orContinue reading “The Functional Conflict Perspective (FCP): An Integrated Framework for Social Cohesion, Governance, and Knowledge Production”
