Progress — A Brief History of Forward™

We built a god called “forward” and forgot to audit the cost. This IP reframes progress as a narrative technology and reroutes the cultural assumption that movement equals improvement.

This framework contextualizes progress as an operating myth, not a destiny, and compresses five millennia of ideological drift into a clear evaluative model. It exposes how linearity, speed, and disruption modulate power, externalities, and collective delusion. It operationalizes an alternative logic—maintenance, resilience, repair—as the new metric of “better.” Scalable as docu-series, codex, toolkit, institutional curriculum.
