About this audiobook

The book combines three linked works: *Zero Infinity*, which establishes the reference-state foundation; *Nested Causal Modelling*, which defines the discipline and its levels of analysis; and *The Final Frontier*, which applies the method to science, funding, institutions, and fields of study. The compass rose develops across all three: first as orientation, then as method, and finally as a means of setting scientific effort on target. Examples come from cosmology, climate, quantum theory, human rights, defense policy, game theory, education, medicine, AI, and industrial systems. This is not a rejection of existing science, strategy, or analysis. It is a way to preserve what local models do well while stating where their authority ends, what they exclude, and what larger enclosure would make them more predictive.
