World Machines 101:

• The Modernity Machine (c. 1200–1600 Dawn, 1600–2000 Day, now Dusk) — the organizing system of the modern era, characterized by Progress as its animating drive. A “pull” system: it pulled humanity toward an imagined future of universal development, scientific mastery, and liberal order.
• The Divergence Machine (c. 1600–2000 Dawn, 2000– Day) — currently the dominant emerging framework. Where Modernity pulled toward convergence, Divergence is a “push” system: it produces radically different outcomes depending on local conditions, values, and trajectories. There is no single destination.
• The Liveness Machine (Dawn, future study) — the next machine, whose outlines are only beginning to be visible.

Feels like the Liveness machine will have to do with grounding. More embodied, more here-ness, more The Alchemist / Hero’s Journey inevitable return to the point of departure in an altered state.

Not woo embodied; just more grounded in biological, squishy paradigms.
