Physics & Geometry

This layer describes the fundamental laws and dimensions of the Virtuome. Just as physical navigation requires understanding gravity and space, moral navigation requires understanding the axes of tension.

The Container

  • The Manifold: The 4-dimensional phase space ($V_{Total}$) in which all psychology occurs.
  • The Holding Field: The physics of safety ($F$). Why transformation requires containment, and the formula for calculating it ($F_{total} = F_{achieved} + F_{received}$).

The Horizontal Axes (The Plane)

The three primary tensions that define ordinary life.

  • Axis of Form ($\Lambda \leftrightarrow \Delta$): The tension between Structure and Flow. (Order vs. Chaos).
  • Axis of Direction ($\Pi \leftrightarrow \text{K}$): The tension between Expansion and Limit. (Growth vs. Finitude).
  • Axis of Relation ($\text{M} \leftrightarrow \Phi$): The tension between Agency and Communion. (Self vs. Other).

The Vertical Span (The Axis Mundi)

The dimension of depth and meaning.

  • Vertical Span ($D \leftrightarrow H$): The relationship between Depth (Shadow/Roots) and Height (Spirit/Canopy).
  • Rule: The “Root-Canopy Law” ($H_{max}$ depends on $D_{integrated}$).
