and Acts. 2026, 19 662 words.

This book presents human action as the interaction of five functions:

Selection, Prediction, Coordination, Execution, and Memory. Drawing on

physiology, psychology, neuroscience, and cybernetics, it explains

distraction, habit, anxiety, trauma, burnout, and recovery as patterns of

organization rather than failures of willpower. It also applies this framework

to emerging human–AI systems. Its central question is: Which layer is

organizing action right now?
