The quaternary structure of circular civilization paired with the 6P’s with the “wicked 25” embedded

The difficulty in mapping out the structure of civilization comes from the fact that it is such an all encompassing subject involving almost all academic disciplines. Because of this multidisciplinary nature we find ourselves with identical topics which are being separately researched in multiple different fields all from different perspectives and using differing approaches. This is why a tabulated format to list all of the variables in the system of civilization is ineffective because some belong to multiple categories. I have found greater success in displaying this information using a circular ring which allows for the four components of the theorised quaternary system to sit neatly with the wicked 25 problems which themselves are split neatly into the “6 P’s”. The 6 P’s are the spheres of civilization involving philosophical, personal, public, private, political and planetary concerns. I believe this could form the basis of a new academic field which builds on those of sustainability and global systems science which could be titled global civilization science with the slight difference being that the system in question is the entirety of civilization encompassing all the separate subsystems. The images below give a basic demonstration how the 6p’s and the circular civilization model fit together. The 6p’s “flower of civilization”, as i call it, demonstrate how each of these issues neatly blends into the adjacent “P” concern, they belong partly to both of the spheres possesing a broader scope of concern.

Just a brief post, but this will allow me to attempt to form a glossary for the most critical concepts and terminology i require to convey the circular civilization concept of how to restructure the planet for the existing and anticipated conditions on earth. This way i can have a more ordered list of terms which are in the most appropriate category. Some of these terms will be relics of past attempts to explain civilization and others will be existing or proposed ideas to structure society and I think it is important to form a large review of them to see if some elements can be borrowed, altered and reincorporated into a more suitable praxis.
