Matter-Life-Meaning Triad

The Matter-Life-Meaning Triad is the canonical organising structure at the root of the ATH framework, establishing its three irreducible axes: Matter (the physical substrate and its vulnerability), Life (the biological colonisers and their ecology) and Meaning (the human, cultural and commercial interpretation of decay). It is set out in the foundational volume alongside the canonical glossary and the Anthrotectonic Rift, and serves as the sovereign root that binds the technical hemispheres (Matter, Life) to the ethnographic hemisphere (Meaning) into one coherent doctrine.
