About the book
Attention and desire, agency and structure, imagination and grief: the forces of a life do not always cooperate. The Orbital Mind asks how their recurring conflicts can become the conditions for a new capacity.
The solar system supplies a symbolic language for thinking about these relationships. Across five parts, the book explores the conditions of coherence, the functions of a living self, openness and transformation, and the collisions of ordinary life.
Reflective practices accompany the argument. The final part makes a further move: a formal model, a cross-scale conjecture and predictions offered for testing. Readers can follow the practical inquiry while judging that proposal on its own terms.
Who it’s for
For readers of psychology, philosophy and systems thinking who want a richer map of the self than a personality label, with room for contradiction and change.

The reading contract
Planetary imagery is a language for reflection, not evidence of planetary influence or destiny. Empirical support, interpretation, analogy and conjecture are distinguished. This is not diagnosis or therapy.
