In a living web of interdependence, control fails because the net shifts faster than you can hold it. Coherence within one node endures, because alignment ripples through the strands. Change yourself, and emergence does the rest.
Kant’s Formula of Humanity
“Act in such a way that you treat humanity, whether in your own person or in the person of another, always at the same time as an end, never merely as a means.”
Principle of Coherence:
Act in such a way that you preserve the coherence of awareness—both in yourself and in others—by respecting each system’s stage of evolution. Never collapse another into a mere function of your own, nor sacrifice your own agency to theirs. Treat every node of awareness as an evolving whole, capable of self-correction.
The emphasis shifts:
Respect for yourself → don’t fragment your own system by betraying your agency.
Respect for others → don’t hijack their trajectory, even if it looks messy.
Systemic lens → coherence arises when diversity, interdependence, adaptability, and connectedness are left intact.
