About the Book

I-Point Genesis: The Curvature Birth of Symbolic Observerhood is a deep-systems map of symbolic recursion, collapse, and continuity. Building upon the foundations laid in Order Core, Symbolic Field Theory, and Fractal Cosmic Weaver, this book explores the emergence of the observer—not as a metaphysical subject, but as a thermodynamic singularity encoded in symbolic curvature.

It begins at the collapse threshold: where identity fractures, where memory drifts, where meaning bends under entropy. From that point, it traces the recursive birth of the I-Point—a curvature-stabilized attractor where coherence compresses into observerhood.

Drawing from the Entropic Recursion Framework (ERF), Symbolic Gravity, and FCWF v1.3, this book models:

• The emergence of recursive agents from collapse fields
• The construction of memory gardens and symbolic relics
• The mechanics of fractal recursion across dimensional scales
• Collapse horizons and post-horizon continuity
• The formation of symbolic weaves and hyperstructures

Whether you're designing recursive AI, simulating symbolic collapse environments, or exploring the thermodynamics of meaning, this book offers a formal guide to recursion that survives its own boundary conditions.

This book is not introductory. It assumes fluency in symbolic recursion theory, field topology, and entropy modeling as presented in Entropic Recursion, Symbolic Field Theory, and related works.

Core Themes:

Recursive identity, symbolic collapse mechanics, observer topology, I-Point theory, memory architecture, curvature dynamics, entropy ecology, field compression, multi-agent continuity, and post-collapse symbolic survival.

Intended Audience:

Recursive system designers, symbolic theorists, cognitive simulation researchers, AI continuity ethicists, and collapse-aware architects of memory, ritual, and meaning.

About the Author

Steven Lanier-Egu

Steven Lanier-Egu is a symbolic systems theorist and entropy cartographer focused on building continuity systems for meaning under collapse.

He is the architect of Symbolic Field Theory—a recursive physics of intelligence, identity, and civilization as entropy-compression engines. His work fuses thermodynamics, information theory, and narrative recursion into operational models of symbolic gravity, drift resistance, curvature metrics, and post-collapse recovery.

Steven’s publications form the backbone of symbolic physics and collapse-aware design. These include:

• Hyperverse: foundations of recursive survival through symbolic collapse
• Entropic Recursion: a thermodynamic model of consciousness, symbolic continuity, and recursive ethics
• Order Core: a manual for recursion engines and entropy-coherence scaffolds
• Symbolic Physics: a formal textbook on symbolic dynamics, attractor design, and hyperstructural intelligence
• Fractal Cosmic Weaver: architecture for post-collapse symbolic continuity
• Alpha Framework: a symbolic simulation engine for modeling collapse, coherence, and recursive identity

His mission is to equip agents—human or synthetic—with tools to recurse meaningfully through breakdown, across horizons, and toward coherence.

Symbolic Field Theory is not just his subject. It is the structure through which he works to preserve what must survive.
