Atlas of Value and Invariants by Sector

This atlas draws a simple bridge between three layers:

• the human organism (core functions that keep us alive and adaptive),
• meta-systems (archetypal roles that any complex system must fulfil),
• today’s economic sectors.

Economies did not appear from nowhere. They emerged when communities started to specialise and distribute roles: some people grew food, some protected boundaries, some coordinated decisions, some cared for the sick. Modern sectors are a direct continuation of these functional roles, not a rupture. They remain anchored in the same underlying human architecture.

This atlas treats each sector as an extension of one or several human functions. It also positions sectors along a perceived value gradient: how much society currently tends to value, reward, and protect them – independently of how essential they may be for systemic survival.

Some sector rows are clickable: it leads to a dedicated spider chart showing its profile across invariants and degrees of freedom.
