intro
Seeing the Frame
A grounding essay on how hidden structure shapes visible outcomes, introducing the lens used throughout this series.

core
Universe’s Trinity
A study of the patterns that shape how systems form, stabilize, and transform across scales—from stars to societies to minds.
-
core
The Trinity Effect
An examination of the Trinity Effect: how a minimal triadic structure produces recurring macro-patterns in ecosystems and human systems.
-
core
Meta-Power
An examination of meta-power: the ledger of Trinity Effects layered over time, hardening into institutional, infrastructural, and epistemic fields.
-
core
Equilibrium Cascades
An analysis of Equilibrium Cascades: turbulent passages where established attractors fail and the surrounding field is rapidly rewritten.
-
meta
Why a New Vocabulary?
Explains why Universe’s Trinity introduces a new lexicon, how it avoids inherited baggage, and how its concepts translate across physics, biology, cognition, and institutions.
-
meta
Who Trinity Is For
Explains how Trinity functions as a pivot language across disciplines, outlining distinct use-modes for generalist systems thinkers and for specialists working deep inside a single field.
-
meta
How Trinity Can Be Wrong
Spells out concrete failure modes, disconfirming evidence, and user misuses that make Trinity auditable instead of a universal just-so lens.
-
meta
Trinity, Domain Analysis, and the Limits of Comparison
A meta-inquiry into a U.S. healthcare comparison showing that Trinity and domain frameworks sit at different abstraction layers and serve different tasks.
-

How Case Studies Were Written
An exploration of the methodology behind the creation of case studies in the Trinity Framework, showing how the framework’s power is demonstrated through practical application.

Mega-Cascade 1914–1991
A Trinity reading of the long rupture that runs from the First World War, through the Second, into the Cold War: one Equilibrium Cascade, three attempted stabilizations, and a rewritten meta-power field.
-
case-study
Climate Cascade and the Edge-Seeking Order
A structural view of climate deadlock: not as failed will, but as the behaviour of a coupled system where fossil infrastructures, financial recursion, and national security logics all bias the field toward delayed and partial rebalancing.
-
case-study
The Authority–Experiment Complex
Examines how mid-century psychology converted shocking experiments into portable recipes for managing compliance in bureaucracies, militaries, and markets.
-
case-study
Non‑Human Ecosystems: Honey Bees
Honey bees under Trinity: from diverse pre-industrial landscapes to high-density migratory pollination, mapping how changing external fields reshape colony equilibria and turn local stresses into synchronized collapse.
-
case-study
AI Acceleration Cascade
Reads contemporary AI development through Trinity’s lens: a high-velocity cascade in compute, data, and institutions that outpaces existing corridors of viability.

A Note on Resolution
A brief calibration on what can shift when you start looking past the paint—how clearer views of structure affect interpretation, without prescribing conclusions.
