MIT 🪞 Micro::Macro
My theory that the U.S. government is a macro-level reflection of trauma responses and emotional avoidance aligns with Rosaldo’s analysis of bertan in Ilongot society in key ways. Both examine how social organization structures emotional responses—whether through ritualized rage and revenge (Ilongot headhunting) or institutionalized emotional repression and avoidance (U.S. governance). The U.S. system, insteadContinue reading “MIT 🪞 Micro::Macro”

This phenomenon is common in cultures where emotional expression is discouraged or where distress is more socially acceptableContinue reading “The Somatization of Collective Trauma and the Linguistic Perpetuation of the Deficit Model: A Framework for Trauma-Informed Systemic Transformation”
Summary of Functional Conflict Perspective (FCP)

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”
