In the geometry of Civilization, Purpose makes static structures dynamic. It applies force to the dimensions—Form, Network, Consensus—added by Evolution to the Universe's Space-Time substrate. Without Purpose, these dimensions remain latent; with it, they generate the fields where coordination unfolds. Purpose is the force that propels us from the physical to the abstract, but always within the constraints of reality's arrow: Time flows forward, consensus appends only.

These fields operate through four fundamental dynamics—the pillars that emerge when Purpose engages substrate at scale: Capital (abstract motion), Information (verified forms), Innovation (new patterns), Trust (valid constraints). At scale—where structure dominates noise—these interlock into helixes, binding Civilization.
