PSYCHO-COSMOCIDE CORPUS 

THE PSYCHO-COSMOCIDE FOUNDATIONS

This is the theoretical foundation of the entire project. The first paper introduces the framework, while the second provides a more explicit philosophical foundation. The Silent Invasion work expands the paradigm, and Metaphysics of Power offers a theory of power and survival. The source itself describes the first paper as a fully revised theoretical framework, tracing the concept back to the Papuan Tragedy.

These works lay the existential-philosophical foundations of Psycho-Cosmocide. The Seven Cages distinguish between fundamental conditions of existence and historically constructed civilisational structures. In What Is This Reality?, the inquiry expands to include competing religious, philosophical, scientific, and Indigenous accounts of reality.

This is arguably the most extensive systems-level architecture in the collection. The Eight Atlases identifies the following interconnected dimensions of existence: physical/material, biological/organismic, cultural/mythological, metaphysical/transcendental, particle/energy, space/time, memory/consciousness, and ultimate mystery.

This is the ontological aspect of the project. While the preceding groups explain reality and its destruction, this group documents the Papuan world that existed, still exists and is being displaced and replaced. 'Capturing Papuan Cosmological Consciousness' examines sacred geography and metaphysical displacement, while 'O' develops a significant Lani linguistic-cosmological argument concerning space, time, the cosmos, the environment, seasons, epochs, homes, and conditions.

These papers progress from asking 'What is Psycho-Cosmocide?' to 'How does it operate?' The 'Parasite Paper' uses biological and parasitological analogies to model colonial capture. 'The Labyrinth' examines how a colonised population becomes complicit in their own destruction when their capacity for recognition has been disfigured and reconfigured. 'The Four Gospels' identifies religiosity, development, progress, and success as interconnected ideological formations within the West Papuan colonial context. Finally, Papuaphobia addresses the racial dimension of the system by tracing its origins through European racialisation, missionary discourse, anthropology, and later Indonesian institutions.

These are comparative civilisation philosophies. The Gilgamesh and Enkidu paper is particularly significant as it introduces the concept of 'participatory extinction', whereby a civilisation can be displaced not only by force, but also — and more terrifyingly — through seduction, domestication and incorporation into the wider civilisation. The Cosmobian and Synthobian paper provides a conceptual contrast:

Cosmobian: relationality and reciprocity.
Synthobian: extraction, production and consumption.

The resistance papers shift the focus from diagnosis to political agency and strategy. The 64-page paper on West Papuan resistance examines the region's political development from 1945 to 2026, including decolonisation, incorporation into Indonesia, resistance, international diplomacy, and the right to self-determination.

The paper presents Wonesis as an antidote framework. Rather than simply highlighting the loss of ecological connection, ancestral memory, existential orientation and cosmological belonging, it considers how communities can intervene in this process and rebuild from the remaining elements.
