Transcending Death

What lives on after death? What can be made from it?

Focus:

• Memory, story, and intergenerational transmission

• Grief as entropy reorganization and meaning rebuilding

• Symbolic immortality: creation, contribution, continuation

• The role of ritual in maintaining coherence post-loss

• Death as integration, not finality (Varela, Kimmerer, Frankl, Watts)
