Essay III
Compensation Zone and Viability Debt
A mathematical formalization of viability conditions for dissipative systems — from organism to civilization.
Table of contents
- Viability condition for a dissipative system
- Dissipation flux, negentropy and regeneration
- Entropic debt: formalization and accumulation
- Rupture thresholds and regime shifts
- Multi-scale applications: individual, ecosystem, civilization

Essay IV
After Coherence — Functional Principle of Systemic Viability
Continuation and deepening of the ORI-C framework — towards an integrated understanding of viability.
Table of contents
- Beyond static coherence
- The functional principle as operator
- Viability and transition regimes
- Applications to life and social systems
Life does not solve. It displaces, converts, temporizes, hybridizes. Understanding this grammar means ceasing to seek definitive solutions and starting to build viable regimes.
