Restoring coherence in an age of fragmentation: informational realism and systemic viability

Abstract

Contemporary societies face cultural and epistemological fragmentation, driven by liquid modernity and declining trust. This disrupts shared meaning and undermines agency. In response, this paper introduces 'Informational Realism', a metacybernetic framework combining Fisher information field theory (FIFT) and mindset agency theory (MAT). MAT models agency as a triad of cognition, affect, and spirit, forming a parametric implicate order that governs informational trajectories. FIFT actualises these dynamics in phase-space, tracing coherence and diagnosing systemic health. During instability, meta-system transitions (MSTs) reorganise fragments into higher-order coherence. This framework provides a generative methodology for restoring systemic viability - in AI, governance, or finance - by shifting focus from control to recursive alignment and purposive evolution in an age of disorder.
