Introduction: Revisiting the “Strategy” Theme from the GO Theory Perspective

Rather than treating strategy as a concept belonging to a particular discipline, project, or group of people, I approach it as a theme that has developed across my work and can now be reconsidered from the perspective of GO Theory.

GO Theory (Phase III): Gejunction and AI

This convergence marks a formal transition. GO Theory Phase I established the World of Activity. Phase II expanded to the World of Life and cultural development through ACS. The work ahead—centered on Gejunction, AI, and the movement from theory into practice—I am naming Phase III.

GO Square: Mapping ACS, SDP, and Other Theoretical Enterprises

This article shifts focus from the map to the territory. Specifically, it applies the GO Square framework to map the five theoretical enterprises that currently operate on the GO Theory platform.

Introduction: Strategic Developmental Psychology (v2.0)

From the ACS project to the SDP project

Weave 2.0: Synchronic Line, Diachronic Line, and Living Coordinate

The two lines come from the Weave knowledge system; the Living Coordinate is what their intersection produces within the World of Activity Approach; and each such coordinate opens onto a Thematic Space

How to Navigate the Symbolic Universe: Three Principles of Spatial Heuristics

how does one actually use GO Square to locate, analyze, and trace the movement of concept systems?

GO Square: Mapping the Symbolic Universe

This article introduces GO Square, an operational framework for systematically mapping the Symbolic Universe—the intersection of the Cultural System and the Historical System.

ACS v1.0 was a curation of meta-frameworks... Precisely these two needs have driven the development from v1.0 to v2.0: building out the operational layer and establishing the coordination structure that holds it together.
