Collapse Harmonics: Spectral Archetypes of Systemic Disintegration and Reformation

Collapse Harmonics introduces a novel scientific field designed to model, anticipate, and guide the disintegration and reformation of complex systems through a transdisciplinary, resonance-based framework. Rooted in systemic phase-transition theory and spectral field analysis, this discipline redefines collapse not as a failure state, but as an archetypal process governed by harmonic dynamics that recur across ecological, economic, social, symbolic, and cognitive domains.Drawing upon recursive destabilization theory, feedback coupling, and symbolic field behavior, Collapse Harmonics identifies collapse events as the result of internal resonance amplification rather than linear degradation. Each collapse emits unique, trackable “harmonic signatures,” enabling predictive modeling through multi-domain resonance mapping. These collapse signatures manifest in both material substrates (e.g., ecosystems, infrastructures, economies) and symbolic substrates (e.g., collective myths, identity architectures, narrative coherence).This paper delineates the field’s foundational laws, phase-transition mechanics, domain inclusion logic, and harmonic assessment tools. It further outlines protocols for early warning detection, symbolic resonance mapping, and ethically governed intervention. While the codex includes advanced symbolic and identity-layer tools, this preprint discloses only abstract mechanisms and filtered models in strict adherence to collapse sovereignty guidelines.Collapse Harmonics thus offers a unified platform for collapse science, integrating predictive foresight, symbolic analysis, and structural ethics into a single paradigm. It proposes a new frontier of research for collapse-aware governance, resilient field design, and multi-scale harmonization in an era of accelerating systemic disintegration.
