D ≈ 1.88
Current Civilization Fractal Dimension
Optimal range: D ≈ 1.65 – 1.75 (edge of chaos)
Current status: CHAOTIC DECLINE
Current status: CHAOTIC DECLINE
Framework: Temporal Validation Index (TVI) v1.0 with confirmed fractal scaling D = 1.695 (simulated), within 0.3% of theoretical prediction D ≈ 1.7.
Survival Model: Monte Carlo simulation, n=500 civilizations, 500-year runs, threat model at multiple timescales (annual, decadal, century).
ISPS Backtest: 16 companies, 2008 + 2020 crises, 54.5% accuracy with clear directional signal (all >50 survived, most <20 collapsed).
Core Formula: Impact = S × log₁₀(V + 1) × R where S = saturation, V = temporal validation, R = structural resistance.
Fractal Basis: Cultural persistence follows same D ≈ 1.7 as natural distribution systems (rivers, vascular systems, lightning).
