Survival Is Not Living: Power Is Rewriting the Rules of Engagement
Power controls every condition of survival. This manifesto examines how power places the corporation in a constitutive position, gives corporate conditions force through state mediation, and consumes the supports of decision health. It asks how those who sustain common life can regain authority over its purposes.
THEORETICAL SEQUENCE

All conceptsCytopolitics

↗01Reality Paradigm
Reality precedes the categories through which institutions measure, classify, and judge it.
↗02Onopticon
An analytic model for systems that do not merely observe subjects, but construct the field in which subjects become observable and actionable.
↗03Homovictimus
The subject who remains an agent while carrying conditions, costs, and judgements they did not author alone.
↗06Metabolic Ambush
The outcome becomes clinically visible only after much of its biological, material, and social history has already occurred.

ACADEMIA.EDUThe Constitution of Imposed Reality: The Elevation of the Corporation to a Constitutive Position by Power, State Mediation, and the Displacement of the Subject and Society from Constitutive Agency
This article examines arrangements in which power elevates the corporation to a constitutive position while organising state mediation through law, finance, authorisation, administration, and enforcement. It distinguishes technical capacity, actual use, institutional dependency, and outcome; and develops Corpopolitics, Onopticon, Homovictimus, Decision Health, and Temporal Conceptual Arbitrage as separate but connected analytical tools.
