The Physics of Civilizational Collapse

Описание: Is history random — or does it follow physical laws?

In this video, we explore Unified Coherence Field Theory (UCFT) — a framework that treats civilizations as coherence-bearing systems, governed by limits of energy, control, and information, just like physical structures.

Instead of blaming collapse on ideology or morality, this approach models societal failure as a phase transition: when institutions lose the ability to regulate complexity, instability becomes inevitable.

Using real-world data from 2024–2025, including global democracy and trust metrics, we examine whether the world is approaching a critical bifurcation point — a moment where democratic systems lose stability and slide toward autocracy.

What this video explores:

• The Physics of Civilization
How societies behave like identity systems with coherence limits, attractor basins, and failure thresholds.

• The 2025 Warning Signals
Why rising economic fear, institutional mistrust, and polarization may indicate a global stability breakdown.

• Elite Overproduction & Structural Stress
How competition among frustrated elites accelerates institutional decay, drawing on modern cliodynamics research.

• Social Temperature & Algorithmic Acceleration
Why high-speed information systems increase volatility and push societies toward perpetual conflict.

• Can Collapse Be Slowed?
An introduction to the idea of a Cognitive Governor — systems designed to stabilize meaning, trust, and coordination before fracture occurs.

• AI, Governance, and Hidden Failure
Why fluent systems can still be unstable — and why coherence matters more than performance.

This is not a political argument.
It’s a systems-level diagnosis of where modern civilization may be heading — and how instability emerges when control lags behind complexity.

Key Ideas Introduced:

• Civilizations as coherence systems
• Phase transitions in social order
• Elite overproduction
• Algorithmic amplification
• Cognitive governance
• AI coherence vs. surface fluency
