Womb of Worlds: Planetary Systems as Semantic Hosts of Civilizational Entropy
This project proposes a novel cosmological framework that reframes the relationship between civilizations and their host planets through the metaphor and structural logic of biological gestation. By mapping stages of fetal development onto civilizational emergence, the work argues that planets function as semantic wombs—hosting entropy-consuming, complexity-generating structures that either collapse under semantic misalignment or emerge into coherent post-planetary existence. Drawing from systems biology, entropy theory, semantic field logic, and ecological philosophy, the paper offers a cross-disciplinary model for interpreting ecological crises, civilizational collapse, and future transitions as gestational phenomena in a recursive universe. This work is part of a broader effort to integrate thermodynamics, cosmology, consciousness, and ethics into a unified theory of semantic cosmogenesis.
