Book
Adaptive Systems
Institutional Design for the Metacrisis
Not critique. Not diagnosis. Design.
Never reform. Replace.
The most effective strategy for change isn't fighting existing systems—it's building better ones in parallel.
Legacy institutions are failing. They're optimized for a world that no longer exists—centralized, slow, and brittle. The metacrisis demands something different: adaptive systems that can evolve, scale, and outcompete the old order.
Key Themes
Metabolic Systems
How institutions process energy, information, and resources—and how to design systems that generate more than they consume.
Design Patterns
Reusable architectural patterns for governance, coordination, and trust-building that scale from teams to civilizations.
Case Studies
Real-world examples of parallel construction—what worked, what failed, and what we can learn from each attempt.
Implementation
Practical tools, scorecards, and playbooks for translating theory into action in your organization or community.
