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.
