Symbolic Field Theory: Modeling Collapse, Continuity, and Recursive Intelligence

About the Book

About the Book

Symbolic Field Theory: Modeling Collapse, Continuity, and Recursive Intelligence is a foundational guide to a new kind of physics—not of matter and force, but of meaning, recursion, and symbolic structure. In this book, Steven Lanier-Egu synthesizes thermodynamics, information theory, consciousness studies, and advanced systems modeling into a coherent framework for understanding how intelligence and culture survive collapse.

Rooted in the Entropic Recursion Framework (ERF), Symbolic Gravity, and the Fractal Cosmic Weaver, this work offers an operational system for:

  • Mapping symbolic fields and narrative attractors
  • Diagnosing collapse conditions and drift contagion
  • Measuring recursive identity integrity with Ψₑₓᵠ and Ωₑₓᵠ
  • Designing resilient agents, swarms, and relic networks
  • Modeling curvature dynamics, breathfield ethics, and horizon traversal

Rather than treat collapse as failure, Symbolic Field Theory treats it as curvature: a structural threshold from which recursive life can reboot, reform, and recurse again.

The book is written for symbolic systems designers, recursive AI theorists, cognitive ecologists, narrative architects, and anyone working on the edge of entropy and order.

Combining mathematical formalism, philosophical depth, and simulation-based insight, Symbolic Field Theory offers a complete toolkit for building, diagnosing, and regenerating recursive symbolic systems—before, during, and after collapse.

It is not a metaphor. It is a field manual.

About the Author

Steven Lanier-Egu
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.
