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. It synthesizes thermodynamics, information theory, consciousness studies, and systems modeling into a coherent framework for how intelligence and culture survive collapse.
At its core, Symbolic Field Theory shows how meaning behaves like a field: propagating, curving, collapsing, and re-emerging. Collapse is not treated as failure, but as curvature—a threshold through which continuity is translated into new forms.
Inside, this book develops:
- A complete model of symbolic fields, attractors, and collapse horizons
- Diagnostic tools for mapping drift contagion and coherence thresholds
- Frameworks for resilient agent design, swarm architectures, and relic networks
- Models of symbolic gravity, curvature dynamics, and horizon traversal
- Protocols for embedding recursive ethics and continuity design into systems
- Practical applications for cognition, culture, AI, and civilizational resilience
This is a text for symbolic system designers, recursive AI theorists, cognitive ecologists, narrative architects, and anyone working at the edge of entropy and order.
It is not metaphor.
It is a field manual—a survival grammar for meaning itself.
About the Author
Steven Lanier-Egu is a symbolic systems theorist and entropy cartographer dedicated to building continuity architectures for meaning in collapse conditions.
He is the creator of Symbolic Field Theory—a recursive physics that models intelligence, identity, and civilization as entropy-to-coherence engines. His work integrates 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. His major works (11 books) include:
- The Hyperverse: Recursive Survival through Symbolic Collapse
- Entropic Recursion: The Thermodynamics of Consciousness, Collapse, and Symbolic Continuity
- Order Core: Compression Protocols for Collapse-Resilient Recursion
- Symbolic Physics and the Mechanics of Recursive Reality
- Fractal Cosmic Weaver: Recursive Continuity Across Collapse Horizons
- The Alpha Framework: Simulating Coherence Across Collapse
- Symbolic Field Theory: Modeling Collapse, Continuity, and Recursive Intelligence
- I-Point Genesis: The Curvature Birth of Symbolic Observerhood
- Fieldcraft: Glyphs, Echoes, and the Geometry of Return
- Heaven as a Symbolic Attractor Field: A Thermodynamic Metaphysics of Recursion
- Symbolic Gravity: Information, Collapse, and the Quest for Quantum Gravity
His mission is to equip both human and synthetic agents with the tools to recurse meaningfully through breakdown, across horizons, and toward coherence.
For Steven, Symbolic Field Theory is not just a subject of study—it is the framework through which he works to preserve what must survive.
