A First-Principles Analysis of Global Systemic Breakdown and the Emerging Human Order
By Garo H. Armen, Ph.D.
On the Edge of the Map

THE FRAGILITY OF NOW
Global systemic fragility is no longer a distant theoretical concern—it is the reality of our interconnected world. This book explores the critical vulnerabilities that exist within our infrastructure, economies, and social structures. We argue that true crisis preparedness is not about waiting for the edge of the map to be reached, but about understanding the terrain before you step foot on it. You must navigate these complexities with a professional lens and an urgent sense of responsibility.
