Physiology → Power

The five-fold through-line this cartography maps: physiology → temperament → behavior → policy → power structures.


A left-to-right chain of five strata: physiology, temperament, behavior, policy, power structures.
The spine — from physiology to the body politic.

The core chain this atlas traces. Dispositions seeded in physiology — the nervous system first — harden into temperament, express as behavior, aggregate into policy, and entrench as power structures — which bend back down to shape the physiology of whoever is born under them.
