Eco-Activism as a Form of Restorative Cohesion
The Gaia Hypothesis, which proposes that the Earth functions much as our bodies do to maintain homeostasis, was formulated in the mid-1960s, by James Lovelock, an atmospheric scientist, and Lynn Margulis, a microbiologist. This theory was startling to some as it suggests the idea that the Earth is a single, living entity; that she isContinue reading “Eco-Activism as a Form of Restorative Cohesion”
How the Meta-Framework Operates: A Brief Overview
How the Meta-Framework Operates: A Brief Overview My meta-framework functions as a self-regulating, trauma-informed, and regenerative system that integrates governance, economics, environmental justice, and social cohesion. It mirrors the Gaia Hypothesis by ensuring that all systems—political, economic, and social—operate in adaptive, non-coercive, and relationally balanced ways. 1. Governance Mirrors Gaia’s Self-Regulation Decentralized, participatory governance replacesContinue reading “How the Meta-Framework Operates: A Brief Overview”
Scalability & Implementation of Functional Conflict Perspective (FCP) & Mirror Integration Theory (MIT)
We’ll systematically examine how FCP and MIT transition from theory to practice at individual, group, institutional, and societal levels. — 1A: Can FCP & MIT Function at Different Scales? 1. Individual Level (Personal Growth, Therapy, Self-Regulation) ✅ Strengths: FCP integrates Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Polyvagal Theory, making it useful for self-healing, nervous system regulation,Continue reading “Scalability & Implementation of Functional Conflict Perspective (FCP) & Mirror Integration Theory (MIT)”

Summary of Functional Conflict Perspective (FCP)
Summary of Functional Conflict Perspective (FCP)The Functional Conflict Perspective (FCP) is a meta-framework that integrates sociology, psychology, and anthropology to analyze how social structures, governance, and cultural systems function as collective trauma responses. It moves beyond traditional functionalism (which sees conflict as disruptive) and conflict theory (which views power struggles as central) by reframing socialContinue reading “Summary of Functional Conflict Perspective (FCP)”
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”
