The Path of Civilization Leap
Follow the causal chain from real-world problems into the whole system.
Historical diagrams and current framework
These verified English diagrams preserve the historical terminology and reading paths of P01-MAPS-001 V2.0. Their older wording and book titles do not replace the current formulation, “self-interest with others first,” the confirmed R10.10 collected master, or current Living Civilization titles. The current navigation links below remain separate from the historical diagrams.
SYSTEM OVERVIEW
System panorama: from real-world problems to civilizational direction, practical foundations, and an open future
The three diagrams support first discovery, overall understanding, and continued reading. The path view explains why the argument leads step by step to Civilization Leap; the panoramic view shows the full extent of the system once you arrive. The diagrams are entry points; family pages and individual explanatory pages develop the specific theories, boundaries, practical foundations, and downloads.

A note on time horizons
The system retains long-term and interstellar directions so that immediate realities do not close off the future. Current communication, public understanding, and practical judgment do not depend on mature interstellar proposals. The closer a proposal comes to implementation, the more it requires evidence, responsibility, exit, and rollback. The closer it lies to the very long-term future, the more clearly its research or visionary status must be marked.
PATH + PANORAMA
The path shows how to proceed; the panorama shows the extent of Civilization Leap
M1→M8 preserves the process through which the theory forms: starting from present crises and changing capabilities, moving through human value, purpose generation, institutions, validation, and future life, and finally returning to why civilization is worth continuing. The panorama does not invent new branches; it places existing theoretical bodies, problem domains, foundational capabilities, and practical foundations within one map of relationships.
Civilizational goals
Continued existence is the baseline, not the endpoint
Continued existence as the baseline → secure basic living conditions → happiness in life → lives richer in meaning. An open future and the ability to choose again run throughout.

The five-volume work + the Living Civilization trilogy
The five-volume work asks why change is necessary and which boundaries must hold. Living Civilization asks how a future civilization operates, how people live in it, and how it comes into being.
Explore how a future civilization operates and how people liveFOUNDATIONAL CAPABILITIES
Foundational capabilities are not permanently subordinate to any single branch
The following research and engineering already serve clear purposes in high-consequence questions such as continued existence and AGI governance. They also provide foundations for future Spark, Nebula, and wider civilizational operation. Their present use does not determine their permanent institutional home.
Human-COS
Make subjects, relationships, interests at stake, consequences, unknowns, and responsibility visible earlier. It currently serves high-consequence judgment; in the future, it may also support Nebula's public judgment and necessary high-consequence situations within Spark.
CCM
Place competition, cooperation, interests, costs, third parties, and unknowns within a comparable structure. It serves research on real strategic interactions and may also become a foundational capability for Nebula's public cooperation and institutional formation.
Purpose Generation
Investigate why objectives hold and how they are retained, revised, cancelled, replaced, and reopened. This connects autonomous AGI objectives with purpose generation in future long-term human–AI and AI–AI relationships.
AGI-COS
Currently addresses crisis operations, perception auditing, high-consequence permissions, and boundaries that permit rollback. Over time, it may develop further into a foundation for civilizational immunity and coordination in human–AGI–AGI relationships.
Irreversible closure / CI-001
Identify whether channels for correction, exit, refusal, recovery, and choosing again are being structurally closed. As a cross-cutting baseline criterion, it can apply to institutions, platforms, and future public structures.
Spark and Nebula
Spark supports the extension of human capabilities, the reach of care, and real responses. Nebula supports public cooperation, judgment among multiple subjects, and civilizational operation. They are not downstream of safety tools; they are important foundations for future civilizational life and public operation.
REAL-WORLD RELATION MECHANISMS
Competition and cooperation mechanisms: from civilizational direction to real relationships among multiple subjects
This is an open research undertaking within how to make the leap. It does not require every subject to abandon self-interest first. Instead, it compares the real consequences of cooperation, non-cooperation, competition, and coordination, making burdens on third parties, constraints, unknowns, and irreversible risks visible earlier.
