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.
