Threshold Theory™

Every civilization runs on hidden lines it only sees when they snap. Threshold Theory™ formalizes a universe where objects, systems, weather, and people hit metaphysical “critical loads,” converting infrastructure burnout and emotional overuse into the core mechanic that reroutes how we narrate collapse and care.

Threshold Theory™ reframes collapse as the moment every overburdened system—bridges, grids, bodies, institutions—hits its emotional and physical limit and starts negotiating back. It codifies a franchise-ready grammar for thresholds across four domains (object, living, planetary, experiential), allowing multiple series, essays, and formats to map different failure lines off a single underlying law. It operationalizes a new language for burnout, climate strain, and infrastructural exhaustion that studios, brands, and cultural institutions can harness into satire, campaign work, and long-horizon narrative ecosystems.
