- Th.67HubMeta-Grokking as Civilizational CapacityAt civilizational and hybrid scales, the capacity for meta-grokking — the recursive re-resolution of entire meaning systems, identities, and value frameworks — becomes the decisive factor separating civilizations that can transform without collapsing from those that cannot.
