Abstract:

Mamun Hussain’s literary works occupy a distinctive position in contemporary Bangladeshi literature, combining clinical precision with deep ethical concern for social suffering. This article offers a critical interpretation of Hussain’s corpus through the framework of Critical Theory, incorporating insights from the Frankfurt School, postcolonial theory, and biopolitical analysis. It argues that Hussain’s fiction and essays function as a form of social diagnosis, exposing the structural mechanisms through which power, ideology, and institutional control produce normalized suffering in postcolonial Bangladesh. Drawing upon close readings of major texts including Hospital Bengal, Nikropolis, Human Pain: A Detailed Description, and Agenda of Armed Forces and Land Management Conflicts, the article demonstrates how Hussain constructs a literary ethics grounded in vulnerability, memory, and resistance. His narrative strategies—fragmentation, documentary realism, and stylistic restraint—disrupt ideological closure and foreground what Critical Theory terms “damaged life.” The study situates Hussain within broader debates on postcolonial disenchantment, the failure of modernity, and the politics of representation, arguing that his work constitutes a form of “negative humanism” that preserves human dignity without resorting to sentimental consolation or utopian illusions. Ultimately, this article positions Mamun Hussain’s literature as an ethical archive of contemporary Bangladesh, offering a powerful critique of domination while defending literature’s role as moral witness in contemporary Bangladesh, offering a powerful critique of domination while defending literature’s role as moral witness in conditions of systemic injustice.

Abstract: This study is part of the FAIST research project - Agile, Intelligent, Sustainable and Technological Factory, coordinated by the Footwear Technology Centre of Portugal (CTCP), which aims to develop an innovative production process through the creation of a sustainable footwear model fully adapted to the user’s foot anatomy and personalized according to individual aesthetic preferences. Within this context, the need emerged to design an online platform with an interface capable of effectively addressing user needs throughout all stages of the personalization process, from three-dimensional (3D) foot scanning to the aesthetic personalization of the model, while ensuring an efficient, intuitive, and pleasant navigation experience. Thus, this work aims to demonstrate how the design process of a footwear personalization platform, across its different phases, can contribute to the revitalization of the Portuguese footwear industry, as well as to describe its effectiveness, with the goal of being potentially adapted and implemented in similar contexts. The adopted methodology was based on the principles of Design Thinking, an approach centered on user needs. The development of the platform involved the creation of personas, the definition of the information architecture, the development of wireframes and workflows, and the execution of usability tests using the System Usability Scale (SUS). The results demonstrate a high success rate, validating the proposed solution with users and confirming the suitability of the applied methodologies.

Abstract:

An archaeological exposure near Hachum, featuring a Ditch profile interpreted as part of a Neolithic earthwork, was characterized using DNA analyses of bacterial 16S rRNA from soil samples. The results showed that the middle and lower parts of the Ditch fill could be clearly distinguished from each other and from the surrounding area based on the composition of soil bacterial DNA. Genera detected predominantly in the lower part of the Ditch suggest that, after the Ditch was completed, organic matter, animal dung, and possibly even human feces were accumulated at the bottom. The investigations demonstrate that analyses of soil bacterial communities can provide valuable insights into the history and function of a Neolithic earthwork and, more generally, represent an important additional source of information for interpreting archaeological contexts that are devoid of or poor in finds.

Abstract: This study integrates Vedic philology, ritual history, and philosophical hermeneutics in a multi-layered analysis of Agnihotra. Particularly in the Yajurveda, where its exterior performance is linked to varṇa and āśrama, it elucidates Agnihotra's technical structure and śākhā-specific methods by drawing on Śruti sources. The conceptual extension of ritual eligibility when dharma declines is explained by an analysis of Purāṇic and Smṛti depictions of Yuga decline. Then, passages from the Upaniṣadic and Bhagavadgītā are considered to demonstrate how Agnihotra is internalized as niṣkāma-karma and jñāna-yajña, creating a continuum between philosophical insight and ritual practice leading to mokṣa. Lastly, the Mādhyandina and Kāṇva recensions of the Śukla Yajurveda are compared to see whether they are appropriate for Agnihotra during the Kali Yuga. The latter maintains earlier, more intricate ritual levels, while the former provides systematic clarity. This study concludes that the Kāṇva recension offers greater scope for academic analysis śākhā for Agnihotra practice in Kali Yuga.

Abstract: As intelligent autonomous systems (IAS) continue to assume increas-ingly central roles in safety- and mission-critical domains such as transportation,healthcare, finance, and infrastructure management, humans are becoming una-ble to monitor or intervene in real time. This shift is driven by the speed, data-processing capacity, and adaptivity of IAS. To manage this complexity, a newparadigm is emerging: IAS controlling and monitoring other IAS, a developmentthat introduces at the same time practical efficiency and profound practical andethical challenges.This article explores the multi-layered delegation of responsibilities within IASecosystems, where decisions influencing human lives and well-being are madewith minimal human intervention. One often-overlooked consequence of this del-egation is the capacity of AI systems to shape and create new human habits,whether through personalized persuasion, behavioral feedback loops, or autono-mous decision enforcement. As humans increasingly adapt their behaviors to ma-chine-optimized environments, questions arise about autonomy, agency, and re-sponsibility for resulting behavior changes.Drawing on insights from recent research on responsibility delegation in IAS andon AI-driven habit formation, the article critically examines how responsibilityshould be distributed across human actors, autonomous systems, and institutions.Framed within the principles of Digital Humanism, I argue for a value-sensitivegovernance model that ensures transparency, explainability and human oversighteven in complex IAS-to-IAS control scenarios.I propose a normative framework for responsibility attribution that accounts forboth the technical architecture of IAS networks and the behavioral effects thesesystems have on human users. The article concludes by addressing the ethicalrisks of diminished human agency, manipulation through behavioral design, andthe need for institutional mechanisms that align IAS operations with fundamentalhuman values.

Abstract: This paper addresses the mind-body problem by highlighting the concept of continuity. Building on philosophical definitions, it introduces an "ontology of continuity" thesis to bridge the mental and the physical. Based on the thesis, the paper introduces a “neuro-subjective interactive (NSI)” model, which incorporates empirical studies from brain science. The model suggests that subjective experiences and neural activities are inter-dependent. Instead of separating between human mentality and its physical base, the paper posits that our mentality is constituted by both physical (neural) and non-physical (subjective) elements. This approach addresses two major challenges in the mind-body problem: causal overdetermination and physical causal closure.

Abstract: This paper publishes 735,000 historical passenger entries from the German North Sea port of Bremen, created between 1830 and 1939, and now structured, enriched, and processed into a research-ready database. It provides an overview of the original archival documents and their datafication, beginning with a historical account of why the passenger lists were created and which information they recorded. Building on extensive prior work—largely carried out by family researchers—the lists were transcribed manually and first made available online in 2003. To enhance their analytical value, we computationally post-processed these data through: (1) data cleaning, especially addressing spelling variants and transcription errors; (2) data normalisation, including conversion into standardised formats; and (3) data augmentation by adding identifiers, geographic information, and multiple classifications. Finally, we discuss limitations of the resulting dataset as well as its analytical potential.

Abstract: Rural architectural systems in the Mediterranean reflect a long-term entanglement between human agency, material conditions, and environmental constraints. This study uses this framework to explore architectural continuity in settlements near ancient Phoenix in Türkiye. It aims to understand how rural building practices like stone masonry, traditional carpentry, and spolia reuse have persisted from antiquity. The methodology combines UAV photogrammetry, GIS analysis, and oral histories to reveal spatial patterns and craft traditions across generations. Findings show structures are transmitted through technical knowledge, with stone and timber co evolving with local livelihoods. The Aegean's technical traditions share heritage with the Dodecanese islands of Symi and Tilos, supported by fieldwork and literature comparing masonry and craft techniques. The work emphasizes the need for conservation strategies that connect digital documentation with community experience to preserve this cross-border cultural landscape amid environmental threats and declining craftsmanship.

Abstract: This study develops an innovative method for the attribution and visual reconstruction of hand-woven fabrics using artificial intelligence, employing Chinese Hong'an Homespun as a case study. The paper proposes a comprehensive algorithm integrating microscopic analysis, physical micro-model creation, and bimodal prompt engineering. The semantic differential method with a five-point scale was applied for objective evaluation of visual replica of historical fabrics. Comparative testing of AI models (Midjourney, ChatGPT, Qwen3, DouBaoAI, HailuoAI) revealed significant differences in their ability to reproduce characteristic features of hand weaving. The results demonstrate the superiority of detailed prompts with precise quantitative parameters and confirm the effectiveness of micro-models as visual anchors. The research establishes new standards in the digital documentation of cultural heritage and opens prospects for preserving traditional textile techniques. The most successful AI are Midjourney and ChatGPT have achieved an average score of 0.88 on the semantic scale, confirming the practical applicability of the method.

Abstract: In this article, Engineer Alberto Donini presents an innovative method, the “Relative Erosion Method” (REM), which he developed to determine the construction date of ancient structures. He applies this method to the two largest pyramids on the Giza Plateau—those of Akhet Khufu (“The Luminous Spirit of Khufu”) and Khafra—as well as to two of the three smaller Queens’ pyramids located next to the pyramid of Akhet Khufu. Is it possible that the current archaeological dating of these ancient Egyptian monuments is incorrect? Is it also possible that the alternative dates proposed by various researchers are likewise incorrect? To address these questions, the author analyses the pyramids of Giza from an unconventional perspective in order to determine the most probable period of their construction. The REM is based on the ratio between two types of erosion affecting the same type of rock in the same location: one with a known date and the other with a date to be determined. This ratio is then used to calculate the age of the stone block under examination.

Abstract: The functioning of complex natural structures, such as living systems, still lacks a generally accepted theoretical basis with respective empirical experimental verification for decades. We propose a class of experiments to test whether such systems could be subject to an unknown ordering principle that cannot be captured by known physical laws. We hypothesise that the quantum mechanical uncertainty principle enables ordering phenomena in nearly chaotic systems in the sense of a strong emergence principle, which would not be expected when they are modelled conventionally, as several authors have already formulated in various forms. To account for the harsh conditions prevailing in living systems that may preclude fragile macroscopic quantum coherence, our hypothesis does not require such coherence at all, contrary to earlier related proposals. To test this hypothesis, two virtually identical and sufficiently complex experimental setups should be compared. One setup will operate with deterministic pseudo-random number generators at key sensitive points, while the other one will use quantum-based physical random- number generators, the two setups being otherwise identical. Existing artificial neural networks are proposed as possible test objects, and their performance under identical training conditions can be used as a quantitative benchmark. As this working hypothesis extends far beyond artificial networks, a successful outcome of such an experiment could have significant implications for many other branches of science.

Abstract: This study constructs a comprehensive philosophical and mathematical framework for understanding perceptual stillness, conscious awareness, and their representations in modern art and music. It integrates contemplative insights from Eckhart Tolle’s notion of the “Power of Now” with neurogeometric and physical models of cognition, drawing parallels between meditative silence and harmonic equilibrium in sound. The inquiry extends across multiple disciplines — phenomenology, cognitive neuroscience, acoustics. The paper proposes that consciousness, in its unconditioned state, can be mathematically described as a limit condition of cognitive curvature Rij = 0, paralleling the zero-curvature manifold in differential geometry. Here, awareness functions as a self-luminous field where perception is no longer mediated by temporal differentiation. This zero-curvature condition finds empirical support in neuroscientific studies of the Default Mode Network (DMN), where meditative absorption produces near-zero entropy. A unique contribution of this paper lies in bridging these contemplative and scientific paradigms with the symbolic and aesthetic expressions found in 20th-century rock music. Simon & Garfunkel’s “The Sound of Silence” is interpreted as an acoustic and existential meditation on the ineffable quality of presence, where lyrical and rhythmic minimalism reflect the collapse of cognitive noise into inner quietude. Similarly, Pink Floyd’s “Brain Damage” and “Eclipse,” from The Dark Side of the Moon.

Abstract:

In the philosophy of language, Frege's (1892) distinction between sense and reference provided a foundational framework for identity statements, while Putnam's (1975) "Twin Earth" thought experiment, with its astonishing insight, pushed the externalist position to its extreme, successfully challenging the internalist model of meaning and setting the basic agenda for debates on referential determinacy for the subsequent decades. However, despite the highly inspirational nature of these pioneering works, an intriguing phenomenon is that the debates they sparked—such as discussions around core cases like Theseus's ship and identical particles—seem to have fallen into a kind of impasse. This article attempts to argue that this impasse may not stem from the depth of the problem itself, but precisely from an unexamined deep presupposition shared by these otherwise highly convincing theories: namely, the belief that there exists some single, decisive level (whether microscopic physical structure or historical causation) that can once and for all answer the identity question. This article proposes that, rather than continuing to seek a superior single answer under this presupposition, a more productive approach may be to reflect on this presupposition itself. To this end, we develop an analytical framework of hierarchical relativity. Interestingly, this framework shows that those seemingly opposing excellent theories can actually be understood as special cases of this framework at different levels; the difficulties they encounter become inevitable precisely when they attempt to make assertions across levels. Therefore, this framework is not intended to negate the work of predecessors, but aims to provide a new path for resolving a series of philosophical puzzles arising from category mistakes by clarifying the valid scope of application of those works.

Abstract: Public trust in the judiciary is fundamental for upholding the rule of law and ensuring democratic stability. However, in Puntland, Somalia, issues such as fairness, accessibility, and the influence of politics or clans may deter citizens from utilizing formal courts. This study assessed the level of public trust in the judiciary in Qardho, Garowe, and Bossaso. A cross-sectional mixed-methods approach was employed, involving a survey of 400 residents using a KOBO-based structured questionnaire and 12 key informant interviews with judges, lawyers, elders, and religious leaders. Quantita-tive data were analyzed through descriptive statistics, correlations, chi-square tests, and regression in Stata, while qual-itative data underwent thematic analysis. Overall, confidence was moderate: 62% agreed that the judiciary is fair and impartial, 55.25% had confidence in judges' independence, 63.5% trusted the enforcement of decisions, and 62.5% viewed processes as transparent. Confidence was most strongly linked to perceived enforcement (ρ = 0.730), judicial in-dependence (ρ = 0.699), and fairness (ρ = 0.686), with age (p = 0.001) and education (p < 0.001) significantly associated with confidence, unlike gender (p = 0.497) and work experience (p = 0.384). Enhancing decision enforcement, transpar-ency, access to information, and protections for judicial independence is vital for boosting public trust.

Abstract: Rural defensive heritage sites are highly vulnerable assets that require decision-making under conditions of limited data and high uncertainty, particularly in the context of large-scale infrastructure projects and accelerating environmental processes. This study proposes a modular decision-support model for defining conservation priorities in a transparent, traceable, and data-sensitive manner, based on four selected fortress sites in the Yusufeli district of Artvin, Türkiye. The model employs a risk-based approach to quantify anthropogenic risks (AR) through the combined assessment of impact (I) and probability (P). Topographic and contextual vulnerability (TC) is structured through sub-indicators including visual dominance disruption, access discontinuities, landscape fragmentation, and microclimatic exposure, while material and intervention compatibility (MS) is evaluated as a distinct compatibility–risk component. These three modules are integrated through normalization and weighted aggregation into a single Priority Index (PI). In addition, the study introduces a Data Completeness Index (DCI) to explicitly address heterogeneity and gaps in field data, allowing prioritization outcomes to be interpreted with an associated confidence level. Laser-scanning-based documentation, deterioration mapping, and photographic records support the evidence-based construction of indicators. The proposed framework offers a transferable approach for generating intervention and monitoring priorities for rural defensive heritage under rapid landscape transformation, while explicitly managing data uncertainty rather than obscuring it.

Abstract: MPA occurs in very young children and is prevalent throughout the lifespan of musicians. Childhood presentations are phenotypically similar to adult musicians which raises the question as to whether MPA is innate or acquired and if identified in childhood, the most appropriate way to manage it to forestall MPA as a lifelong problem. An understanding of developmental and psychodynamic psychology and the multifactorial causation of MPA is necessary to develop effective interventions.

Abstract: Two major global trends shaping 21st-century society are population aging and urbanization. Consequently, the living conditions of older adults have become an increasing focus of societal attention. Social interaction plays a crucial role in the mental health, emotional well-being, and social identity of older adults. Urban streets, as key sites for walking and social activity among older adults, can be seen as extensions of their homes—places where they regularly interact with neighbors and build new connections. Compared to built environments often termed "gray spaces," exposure to green spaces has been shown to offer greater benefits to residents' well-being. Among streetscape features, the Spatial Openness Level is closely associated with the psychological well-being of elderly individuals. The Gray-Green space Exposure Ratio (GER) and Spatial Openness Level(SOL) serve as key indicators for evaluating streetscape quality. In this study, conducted in Wuhan City, objective physiological monitoring of brainwave activity was employed to examine the responses of older adults to variations in GER and SOL. The results indicate that both GER and SOL significantly influence the emotional states of older adults.(correlation coefficient R² = 0.6062, p < 0.01) .These findings can inform human-centered urban design criteria, thereby promoting social interaction among older adults. Future research should incorporate additional environmental factors to establish a more comprehensive assessment framework for age-friendly urban spaces.

Abstract: The swift amalgamation of artificial intelligence (AI) into educational contexts has transformed the ways learners interact with instructional materials, offering new avenues for fostering autonomy. This narrative review investigates the role of AI-driven learning platforms in enhancing learner autonomy by examining features such as personalized learning pathways, adaptive feedback, and metacognitive support. Utilizing evidence from empirical studies, systematic reviews, and experimental research, the findings indicate that AI platforms significantly improve learners’ self-regulation, goal-setting, reflective practices, and independent engagement with content. However, the impact of AI on autonomy is mediated by learner characteristics, context, and the degree of control students have over AI tools. While AI personalization enhances motivation and digital literacy, excessive reliance without pedagogical guidance may impede autonomous learning. The study emphasizes the importance of intentional integration, equitable access, and scaffolding to maximize the benefits of AI for learner autonomy. These insights contribute to the growing discourse on technology-enhanced education, providing practical recommendations for educators and institutions seeking to cultivate self-directed learners in the digital era.

Abstract: The rapid integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into education has created both transformative opportunities and complex challenges for teaching and learning. This study provides a comprehensive systematic narrative review of the existing literature on AI in educational contexts, focusing on its potential to enhance personalized learning, support instructional efficiency, and facilitate data-driven decision-making. AI-driven tools, including adaptive learning platforms, intelligent tutoring systems, and automated assessment technologies, were found to improve student engagement, academic outcomes, and collaborative learning when implemented thoughtfully. However, the study also highlights persistent challenges such as limited teacher preparedness, infrastructure constraints, and inequitable access to technology, which may hinder effective AI adoption. Ethical considerations—including data privacy, algorithmic transparency, cultural alignment, and academic integrity—further underscore the need for responsible and human-centered integration of AI in schools. Findings suggest that AI’s educational value depends not only on technological sophistication but also on its alignment with pedagogical objectives, ethical principles, and institutional readiness. To maximize benefits, the study recommends investments in professional development, infrastructure, equitable access, and clear ethical guidelines, alongside strategies that balance AI use with traditional teaching approaches. Overall, this research emphasizes that AI should complement, rather than replace, human educators, ensuring that technological innovation enhances learning while safeguarding student rights and fostering critical thinking.

Abstract: The present manuscript, rooted in literary review and philosophical exploration, is inspired by Theodor-Nicolae Carp’s poetic-prophetic manuscript The Conquest from Within and the Incoming Platonic Revolution. The work situates itself in the lineage of Arthur Schopenhauer’s ontological suffering and Mihai Eminescu’s cosmic melancholy, while proposing a transformative continuation: the reawakening of platonic intimacy as a redemptive force for human and cultural fragmentation. Drawing upon literary arts as its primary lens, the paper explores platonic intimacy—understood as non-romantic, spiritually conscious emotional connection—as both metaphor and method for reintegrating the fractured modern soul. At its core lies Carp’s Philosophical Prelude, a lyrical reflection that rejects despair and embraces the “intellectual fire” of suffering as a crucible for metamorphosis. The manuscript engages with the poem Inner Monologue: Future, Progress and Knowledge, in which geographic exile, spiritual orphanhood, and prophetic renewal converge to reveal the moral collapse of modern society while gesturing toward cosmic reintegration. Further reflections on this poem are explored in the Introduction section. This vision finds further expansion in the lyrical fragment Elegy of Mine Exile, where suffering is transfigured into a prenatal fire and invisibility becomes a sacred threshold. A considerable number of stanzas unfold this vision into ecological, theological, and anthropological dimensions: the soul's descent becomes the fermentation of a New Eden; cosmic orphanhood is reimagined as archetypal human identity; and Homo constellatus emerges as a being forged through elemental union and divine inheritance. The poem culminates in a vision of resurrectional intimacy and co-creative union, presenting exile not as disappearance but as divine gestation. Newer stanzas enrich this vision further, introducing additional metaphors of embodied transfiguration. The speaker, buried in societal invisibility, likens his soul to a seed planted in the soil, from which a “New Tree of Life” shall grow—rooted in suffering yet destined for cosmic communion. Rain becomes divine tears; the grave becomes sacred fermentation; and emotional exile is reimagined as sacramental gestation for the birth of Homo constellatus. Echoes of Gethsemane and the nativity recur through lines portraying the soul’s descent into darkness not as disappearance, but as poetic mission. Through this, Carp’s voice declares that the pain of being forsaken becomes the very altar of reconnection, and the lonely prophet becomes the first fruit of planetary resurrection. A crucial cosmic-theological dimension is added in the Philosophical Prelude: the figure of the Morning Star—symbol of both descent and transfiguration—whose fall is reinterpreted not as defeat, but as the herald of an “Eternal Dawn”, whose light will be generated and expanded as a result of the Morning Star’s “explosion”. This luminous imagery, embedded in the metaphysical theme of “labour through exile,” reinforces the work’s central claim: that the pain of alienation is the price of planetary rebirth. This vision is further enriched by Carp’s reinterpretation of Eminescu’s poetic detachment—notably the line “Tu rămâi la toate rece” (“Remain untouched by all things, and stay cold”)—which he reframes not as indifference, but as a survival reflex of the visionary soul: a subconscious, first-line defense against what is, from a relative-experiential standpoint, a 'soul-backstabbing' condition of imposed exile and existential isolation. In contrast to Hyperion’s cosmic withdrawal—captured in “Eu rămân în lumea mea, nemuritor și rece” (“I remain in my world, immortal and cold”)—Carp’s Morning Star overcomes this initial, first-line, subconscious and inherited reflex. She descends not into erasure, but into compassionate incarnation. Thus, Romantic detachment is not denied, but fulfilled—through a metaphysical theology of luminous descent. This vision is not only a philosophical commentary, but a literary and symbolic call for healing, manifested through metaphor, poetry, and interdisciplinary resonance. Combining narrative analysis, literary theory, and interdisciplinary review, the work explores Carp’s poetic fragments (The Exile, The Fire, The New Eden) in parallel with empirical studies on human touch, post-traumatic growth, neurodivergence, and urban intimacy. It introduces the metaphor of the Milky Way–Andromeda collision as an emblem of eventual reconnection, arguing for poetic literature as a visionary force capable of healing societal isolation. Platonic intimacy emerges not as nostalgia, but as revolution—one rooted in sacred presence, metaphorical restoration, and embodied care. Furthermore, the publication chapters that may bring novel points of literary and artistic perspectives to intellectual exploration. Namely, Chapters 12 and 13 of this work deepen the metamodern mythos introduced earlier in the text, completing the philosophical, spiritual, and poetic descent at the heart of The Conquest from Within. Chapter 12, “A Chaos of Inexistence or an Existential Chaos,” explores the lived experience of social and psychological invisibility, particularly among intellectually lucid and morally sensitive individuals. These souls, often marginalized for their depth, undergo a paradoxical transformation: the more they see, the more they are unseen. Drawing on figures such as Kierkegaard, Sartre, Camus, and Plato, the chapter reinterprets inexistence as a crucible—an epistemic and moral exile that initiates the individual into deeper clarity and compassion. The invisible are likened to the first butterflies—those whose metamorphosis signals the symbolic end of winter. Their descent is not a collapse but a gestation into presence. In this context, platonic intimacy emerges as a sacred recognition of interiority, forged through shared suffering and existential lucidity. Chapter 13, “The Moral Black Hole — A Portal to New Creation?” continues this descent, developing the metaphor of the black hole as a space not of destruction but of sacred implosion. Referencing the Harrowing of Hell, the descent of Christ, and the fall of Hyperion, the chapter reframes suffering, ego collapse, and obscurity as a portal to singularity—the essential core of the self, refined through spiritual gravity. The journey through the “moral black hole” is thus a movement from ego to essence, from fracture to radiance. Here, the archetype of the wounded healer takes full form: those who return from the depths, stripped of pride and lit by interior resurrection. Two new symbolic expansions emerge in this framework. First, the metaphor of a pilot flying through the North Pole of human coldheartedness captures the soul’s journey through spiritual apathy and moral desolation, guided only by inner conscience. The destination, the Land of the Spiritually Free, reflects Carp’s vision of ethical clarity born from endurance. Second, the image of a medical singularity, entered by those navigating trauma through behavioral therapy and SSRI interventions, represents not pharmacological flattening, but a sacred passage into psychic reorganization. Both metaphors reinforce Carp’s core thesis: that collapse is not terminal—it is transformational. Across both chapters, the poetic cycle is completed through two original works—“The Star That Fell to Save the Night” and “The Embrace of Singularity”—which weave cosmic, theological, and psychological imagery into a redemptive literary theology. Together, these final chapters offer a vision of a New Eden: not as innocence regained, but as maturity born of descent—a society rooted in vulnerability, presence, and the moral clarity that emerges only from the fire of compassionate collapse. Chapter 28 (The Womb of Time — Evolution as Divine Pregnancy and the Chant of Creation) proposes a metaphysical-literary model of evolution framed as a "divine pregnancy," integrating evolutionary science with theological and poetic insight. The concept reinterprets human development not as random adaptation but as sacred choreography—an intentional, time-bound unfolding of consciousness aimed at manifesting the imago Dei. Through the chapter, the following concept is explored and discussed: Linguistic Symbolism and Sacred Evolution: The Echo of “Eu” in Dumnezeu. In Romanian, the word for God—Dumnezeu—ends with eu, meaning “I” or “me.” Though not an etymological derivation, this phonetic coincidence becomes a poetic metaphor: within the divine name, the human self is concealed, waiting to awaken.Stepping into the eternal realm through chant mirrors God's creative act—the sacred, rhythmic emergence of humanity through the long pregnancy of time. Each evolutionary wave is not chaos, but divine cadence. Chant, like evolution, repeats with purpose: syllables forming a hymn of becoming. In this vision, eu is both echo and endpoint—culminating in the human “I am” rising in response to the divine “I Am”, completing creation with conscious intimacy. The model emphasizes non-linear progression, symbolic depth, and the spiritual significance of repetition and intimacy in both biological and relational evolution. Just as a game developer iterates endlessly—sketching, coding, adjusting animations, running simulations—to breathe life into a single playable character, so too did the Creator repeat countless evolutionary drafts. Each prototype of early humanity was not a failure but a frame—a frame in the animation of being. A gesture toward the final form. A divine developer, crafting not pixels, but persons; not mechanics, but meaning. This cosmic anthropology is further deepened in the Interlude (The Author’s View on the Divine — Language, Creation, Breath of Love and the Triune Mystery), which presents a poetic theology of divine speech. Here, the Trinity is envisioned not as abstraction but as relational poetics: the Father as Source, the Son as Word, and the Spirit as Breath—together forming a cosmos spoken into being through love. The Interlude draws from Eastern Orthodox Christian mysticism and resonates across religious traditions, suggesting that ultimate reality is not indifferent, but relationally alive. In this view, language becomes sacrament, speech becomes participation, and evolution itself becomes the chant of God—calling each soul by name into communion. Chapter 47 (The Eclipse of True Affection) shifts from metaphysical themes to emotional scarcity in the modern age. Through the paradox of Gabriel’s Horn, the chapter critiques an age of abundant but superficial relations—wide in reach, but hollow in depth. In contrast, platonic intimacy is reimagined as a sacred and countercultural act: one rooted in kenosis, emotional courage, and the Cross as both a theological and symbolic axis. This vision frames the heart as a vessel of openness and suggests that only through humility and sacred affection can human beings emerge from their emotional isolation and begin again as “Trees of Life.” Against the backdrop of urban alienation, this chapter reclaims platonic love as an essential path to spiritual and communal renewal. Chapter 48 (The Icon of the Cross) presents cruciform love as the architecture of a new humanity—where spiritual verticality and compassionate horizontality meet at the sacred heart. The present manuscript also proposes a vision of Homo constellatus not as a future mutation, but as a sacred return—an iconic humanity reawakened through neurodivergent insight, symbolic memory, and cosmic communion—via Chapter 50 (From Homo sapiens to Homo constellatus — The Return to Iconic Humanity). This figure embodies the convergence of intellect and intimacy, suffering and structure, offering a prophetic alternative to both technocratic progress and existential fragmentation. Chapter 51 (The New Tree of Life) imagines each soul as soil ready to bear fruits of divine love through inner suffering and shared joy, likening human communities to forests of mutual shelter. Chapter 52 (The Metamorphosis of the New Angels) concludes the journey with an image of souls transfigured by suffering, who rise not with thunder, but with tenderness, silence, and the sacred memory of a more intimate world-to-come. The text calls for a literary revival that not only critiques but reimagines. It envisions cities as “urban wombs,” housing models based on “cuddled architecture,” and cultural rituals rediscovering lullabies, silence, and holy touch. Importantly, the present manuscript also explores A Proposed Continuation of Mihai Eminescu’s Literary Manifesto—a poetic declaration that reimagines Eminescu’s metaphysical and Romantic legacy for the modern age. Structured in four symbolic movements—cosmic vigilance, creative sacrifice, paradoxical unity, and nature’s silent wisdom—the manifesto calls for a literature rooted in transcendence, synthesis, and spiritual renewal. By bridging past and present, it positions the poet as a visionary force capable of healing cultural divides and rekindling humanity’s connection to the eternal.In its later parts, the present review manuscript extends its literary vision into concrete social architecture. Drawing on concepts such as embraced housing, relational education, a School of Boundaries, Consent, Safe Spaces, and Platonic Intimacy (SCPI), and proposed clinics for expanded platonic intimacy, the paper proposes that platonic intimacy can function as a safeguarded civic resource rather than a private exception. These frameworks suggest that exile may become gestation not only in metaphor, but in institutional practice, pointing toward cities and communities designed to cradle rather than fracture the human heart.Grounded in literary writing but supported by 50–100 interdisciplinary references, this preprint reasserts literature’s power to bridge suffering and hope—building not only symbolic but tangible structures of reconnection. Lastly, the manuscript frames the “fall” of the Morning Star not as erasure, but as a luminous metaphysical explosion—the symbolic ignition of the Eternal Morning that marks the end of the Old World and the rebirth of integrated consciousness. Commentary: Carp’s Philosophical Prelude and poetic excerpts are a luminous call to embrace suffering as a crucible for transformation, echoing existential and mystical literary traditions. The imagery of “intellectual fire” and “holy forgetfulness” elevates the narrative to a prophetic vision, grounding the scientific in the soulful.
