What would our institutions look like if they measured success by their effects on living capacities rather than by GDP, revenue, throughput, credentials, or procedural compliance?
This four-part multimedia series explores Bichara Sahely’s academic white paper, “Completing the Life-Value Onto-Axiology Program: From Life-Ground to Living Coherence.” Building on the foundational work of philosopher John McMurtry, the series develops Life-Value Onto-Axiology from a philosophical compass into a process-relational, operational, and falsifiable architecture for institutional design.
The playlist includes:
• Presentation 1: The Life-Value Architecture
• Presentation 2: Life-Value Architecture
• Video Explainer: Completing the LVOA Program
• Cinematic Explainer: Operationalizing Life-Value — The Six-Layer Architecture
Across these productions, the series examines:
• The money sequence and the life sequence of value
• The Primary Axiom of life-value
• Objective needs, satisfiers, and provision flows
• Capacity, load, and regenerative margin
• The six-layer Life-Value Architecture
• The anti-displacement test
• Life capital and the civil commons
• Applications in healthcare, education, economics, and governance
• First-, second-, and third-person standpoints of evidence
• Feedback, falsifiability, and the Life-Knowledge Commons
• The methodological triality
The central question is whether our actions and institutions protect, restore, or enlarge life—and whether we are willing to let evidence and lived reality correct our models.
