Changing the very Ground that Grows the Metacrisis

Finding a new set of invariants changes what kind of civilisation it is possible to build. For those of you who are done with the extractive old era and are building the new era, the grammar of desire is the foundation-level change that will light you up.

Invariants are a small set of rules that unlock vast complexity and possibility across entire domains.

The discovery of musical scales as an invariant brought us infinite songs, fundamentally shaping human culture, ritual, and collective identity for thousands of years.

The discovery of literary grammar and syntax as invariants brought us infinite sentences and stories, powering the spread of law, religion, philosophy, and literature that built and sustained civilizations. And ultimately made computing and AI possible.

The discovery of the genetic code (DNA) as an invariant brought us the ability to understand, predict, and manipulate life itself, transforming medicine, agriculture, and biotechnology on a global scale.

The discovery of zero and the decimal place-value system as mathematical invariants brought us efficient calculation, record-keeping, and complex mathematics, enabling modern science, engineering, finance, and commerce.

The discovery of the deVinery grammar of desire as an invariant can bring us the ability to map and navigate the fundamental relational tensions that drive why we do, build, create, relate or communicate anything at all. Applies to people, technology, global systems and even ecologies.

This is as upstream as it is possible to go. It changes every global system downstream. It changes the field conditions from which the current metacrisis is growing.

If we try to build the future without changing the underlying conditions that created the metacrisis in the first place, all our well-meaning innovations will eventually revert to the old era patterns.

The deVinery Grammar of Desire proposes three irreducible paradoxes as the minimal relational structure underlying any differentiated self, whether it be a person, an AI, a culture, an organisation, or even a rock.

If this holds, it makes mapping deVinery Desire Signatures possible. (Already field tested in 1000s of cases).

I’m actively looking for a small number of visionaries and funders who see that changing the upstream grammar can reshape everything downstream, and who want to support this work at its foundational stage. Smart investors fund the field conditions they need for their own projects to thrive.

I am also seeking a small number of exceptional early participants to rigorously test three invariants. I am looking for sharp, independent thinkers who immediately see the potential of a foundational relational grammar that could reshape how we understand selves, systems, relationships, and civilisational movement.

If you want to be among the first to put the test through its paces, message me directly. Early conversations and deeper collaboration are currently limited to a select group.
