🧨 Phase 6: Collapse

Systems overloaded with contradiction begin to break. Trust dissolves. Structures designed to support humanity instead extract from it.

• 📉 Institutional entropy: Legacy systems fail to adapt, and collapse under the weight of their own complexity.
• 🤖 Automation of harm: Algorithms and bureaucracies scale dysfunction.
• 🔥 Collapse as cleansing: Some see collapse as justice, others as judgment.
• 🌱 Ritual resilience: The prepared individual becomes a seed of order in a storm of chaos.

Collapse is not the end. It is the threshold between stories.
