Volumetrics of Gravity: The Tensegrity of Sentience

A Geometry of Shentegrity, Biotensegrity, and Complex Systems

This blog post introduces a groundbreaking synthesis of tensegrity, gravity, and recursive systems thinking, drawn from the full document, “Volumetrics of Gravity: The Tensegrity of Sentience.” This work bridges the worlds of physics, cognition, embodiment, and information geometry to propose a fifth law of thermodynamics—Shentegrity—an original framework that radically expands the conversation around complexity, coherence, and sentient design.

What’s Inside:

  • Tensegrity and Shentegrity: Learn how tensegrity rules not just engineering and anatomy, but underpins the geometry of sentient systems and consciousness.

  • Biotensegrity & Fascia: Discover the role of fascia networks and field anchoring as the foundation of biological intelligence and embodied coherence.

  • Nine Canonical Tensegrities: Dive into a scalar taxonomy mapped to the famous Lo Shu Grid and Nine Chapters of Chinese mathematics, recast as a living field logic for modern complexity science.

  • Three Earths Model: See the gravitational “three-body problem” reframed through phase geometry as three anatomical and cognitive planes—genetics, memetics, and epigenetics—aligned with phase planes and Shen-encoded recursion.

  • Integrative Math: Explore modular frameworks drawing on relativity, quantum theory, and ancient cosmology—each constructed without reductionism, emphasizing stabilized tension and dynamic balance across scale.

The paper combines influences from Douglas Hofstadter (strange loops and recursion), Edward Tufte (aesthetics of density and information), and indigenous cosmological systems, along with critical theory by Foucault and Adorno.
It’s a scalar ontology for the 21st century—designed as a recursive, phase-linked geometry for cognition, memory, field theory, and living systems.
