Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. What if reality is not made of things, but of relationships?Principles of Coherence offers a clear, rigorous framework for understanding how order, meaning, and agency emerge in a complex world-without centralized control, fixed blueprints, or external designers. Drawing on insights from complexity science, physics, biology, systems thinking, and contemplative traditions, this book presents seven core principles that explain how systems hold together across scales, from quantum fields to human civilization.Rather than proposing new laws or speculative theories, this work offers an original synthesis-a way of seeing that reveals recurring patterns beneath seemingly unrelated phenomena. At its core is a simple but powerful idea: reality is informational and relational, and coherence-the ability to remain integrated while changing-is the key to understanding how systems survive, adapt, and evolve.The seven principles explore: why nothing exists in isolation, and why separation is a useful abstraction rather than a fundamental truthhow complex patterns emerge naturally from interaction and constraint, without design or controlwhy life can be understood as active maintenance against entropyhow civilization accelerates power faster than wisdom, creating both progress and fragilitywhy structures and incentives shape behavior more than individual intentionwhy the self is best understood as a process rather than a fixed entityand what truly lasts beyond individual lives-not memory, but structural legacyEach chapter pairs conceptual clarity with practical orientation, offering Coherence Strategies that translate abstract principles into ways of acting more skillfully inside complex systems. The book does not offer prescriptions, moral doctrines, or self-help techniques. Instead, it provides a map-one that helps readers see constraints more clearly, anticipate unintended consequences, and exercise agency with greater awareness.Written for thoughtful readers across disciplines, Principles of Coherence is especially relevant for those working with complexity: scientists, technologists, educators, policy thinkers, designers, and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of how systems behave when control is impossible and certainty is unavailable.This is a short book by design. Its aim is not completeness, but coherence-to offer a compact framework that can be held in mind, tested against experience, and returned to over time. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
