The Meaning Manifesto

We are crossing a world in rupture, in dislocation, in polycrisis. An existential violence that goes beyond mere transformation. Landmarks are lost, forms dissolve, images mistreat our perceptions, and words themselves wear out under saturation and hyperbole.

In this state of wavering, a consubstantial question emerges: where can meaning be found?

Meaning is not to be sought on the surface of things, but within our inner resonance. It is shaped in the fold of experience, in the living loop that articulates the intimate and the collective, memory and becoming.

It unfolds according to a circular morphology:

discontinuity as rupture - this is where we stand now,

action to draw the line against the unacceptable,

disruption as fertile adjustment,

return to continuity to reintegrate the living.

Meaning does not emanate: it orients itself, it bends, it breathes. Its topology is that of the curve. We have the tools to measure its inflections and ruptures.

At the heart of this quest, poetry acts as a symbolic source. It leaves within us, renders the invisible visible, and restores to life its power of wonder. It traces the lines of ethics, reconnects scattered fragments. It is the soil from which meaning is reborn.

Thus opens a call: to the guardians of the symbolic curve, to those who, through their gestures, their knowledge and their care, exercise a meta-influence - the capacity to tend to the symbolic field itself, to preserve the continuity of meaning against extractive erosion.

Our task: to restore to each person their capacity to act, to embrace their poetic inspiration - to feel and imagine otherwise - so that our world may reinvent itself within meaning.
