Understanding the Age of Interpretation in History and Self
There is a stage in every long story when the plot that once seemed clear begins to loosen. The lines that once held everything together begin to tremble, not because they were false, but because they have been carried as far as they can go. In history, this threshold appears in the transition from the…

The Narrative Age: Understanding Identity and History
How History Acquires a Plot — and how the Self Awakens to Its Own Story If the Age of the Law gave the world its first stable structure, the Age of the Covenant gave it identity. But structure and identity alone do not yet form a story. A society may know what binds it together,…

From Law to Covenant: Understanding Historical Identity
How Structure Becomes Identity in History and in the Self (2000–1000 BCE / Ages 20–30) If the Age of the Sign (3000–2000 BCE) introduced permanence into the world, the Age of the Law (2000–1000 BCE) introduced obligation. The earliest legal codes of Mesopotamia carved order into stone so that society could survive beyond the fragility…

Understanding Language Models and Reality’s Structure
THE HOW LARGE LANGUAGE MODELS REVEAL THE MICRO–MACRO STRUCTURE OF REALITY.

Though remembered primarily as a religious figure, Paul…

The Micro-Macro Cosmos: Aristotle’s Influence on Consciousness
ARISTOTLE, WRITING, AND THE BIRTH OF THE MICRO–MACROCOSMOS The idea that the human being is a “small world” and the world a “greater human” appears so frequently in philosophy, theology, mysticism, and psychology that it almost feels self-evident. We inherit it as if it were simply true — a natural way to think about consciousness…

The Self-Correcting Theory: From Text to Film
A few weeks ago, I sent the pamphlet to the publishers. At that moment, I genuinely believed the work was finished. I didn’t feel it was rushed or incomplete; the structure seemed clear, and the argument had settled into its place. Only afterwards, when I began to read the text again, did something unexpected happen.…

Documentary & Pamphlet: The Dual Narrative of A New Era
Several weeks have passed since the last update — weeks of silence on the surface, but of quiet movement underneath. What first appeared as a pause was, in truth, a moment of reckoning. While preparing the press release and project summary for A Tale of a New Era, an unexpected question arose: How can this…

Unveiling A Tale of a New Era: From Research to Public Dialogue
As the third episode moves into production, the project shifts from construction to communication — from inner logic to public dialogue. The past week has marked a quiet but decisive turn. The press release and project summary have now been published on the Media page — the first formal presentation of A Tale of a…
