Where it appears
Treated in
- Part One — Why This MattersThe Three PillarsThe whole framework in four moves: the Loop, the Third Thing, the Nest, and the Leverage — with the self's own chapter next, as the clearest example of pillar II.
- Part Two — How to PracticeFinding Your Local RuleFour honest questions — loved, capable, needed, sustainable — and the overlap where a rule worth repeating actually lives.
- Part Two — How to PracticeThe SkeinThe difference between a community bound by real repeated contact and one bound only by a label — and the test that tells them apart.
- Part Four — The Ground UnderneathSystems Theory FoundationsStocks, flows, and feedback loops — the formal machinery underneath the leverage ladder, and the recursion that makes the whole system fractal.
- Part Five — The Standing ThirdsThe Dyad-KinNineteen two-person patterns, each one two Self-Kin meeting. Know any two of the three and the third follows, which means changing your own leg changes what the two of you make.
- Part Five — The Standing ThirdsThe Culture-KinSeven patterns slow enough that no single life sees one full turn — and, by the catalogue's own admission, its most provisional tier.
- Part Five — The Standing ThirdsThe World-KinThree figures, and only three, derived rather than chosen: two Culture-Kin sharing a Skein-Kin. The last tier where a push still reaches.
- Part One — Why This MattersWhere It Comes From — The Seven IterationsFractalism's genesis story: no voice speaking from outside the system — only a small pattern, repeating, until repetition became a universe.
