Collapse–Renewal Dynamics in Mono- and Polycrisis Civilizations
A worldbuilding logic for builders of coherence, systems, and mythic-meaning frameworks.By Chris A. Piazza | Antherra™
Length1h 5m
About this audiobook
Exhausted by cascading crises that shred your routines and leave a hollow ache where purpose once stood, civilizations don't just fail—they dissolve into renewal under mono- or polycrisis strain. This dynamics engine maps the hidden churn of meaning vacuums and archetypal rebirths in turbulent systems. It invites you to spot those same fracture points in your world and chart a regenerative path forward.
