Toroidal Superinsertion and the Geometry of Being

Our central text asks how contemplative depth and ordinary livelihood can belong to a single life. Written in the voice of a 1978 treatise from the California coast, it brings Madhyamaka philosophy, cybernetics, and toroidal geometry to bear on the Monday-morning divide.

An open book with a copper bookmark.

  1. Preface (1978): The Illusion of the Dualistic Divide

    How the false split between Sunday stillness and Monday obligation begins, and how the three pillars of our path bring them back into one life.

    Seeing an eight-hundred-dollar invoice and a blind man’s cane through dependent arising and the extended circuit of mind.

  3. Chapter 2: Field Mechanics of the Supertoroid

    The geometry of the two circulations, the safety factor, and J. B. Taylor’s model of relaxation toward unclenched flow.

  4. Chapter 3: The Pilgrim in the Culvert (The 1972 Field Experiment)

    Walking the desert highway, sheltering in a concrete drainage pipe, and discovering reciprocity behind a push-broom in Pecos County.

    How a late-night reactor diagram in an El Paso motel room gave birth to the Second Column and the discipline of self-correction.

    Wearing our roles in the workplace with the clarity of an oscilloscope faceplate, without selling our inner life.

  7. Chapter 6: Purge, Unify, Simplify: The Art of Continuous Free Flow

    Three practical movements that join the laboratory bench, the kitchen sink, and the quiet heart.

    A reference gathering of the book’s topological, cybernetic, and magnetohydrodynamic equations alongside their stated assumptions.

  9. Appendix B: Annotated Bibliography of Sources Available by 1978

    The twenty-four philosophical, cybernetic, and physical works that form the book’s reading shelf.

  10. Archival Dossier (1972–1978): Field Notebooks, Stationeries, and the Big Sur Colloquium

    Field notes, motel stationery, and coastal colloquium transcripts that dramatize how these teachings were tested in conversation.
