The Temporality of Coral (Kegan 5.5): Where Time and Soma Fuse into a Single Precise Indicator

Abstract

Posits a developmental station beyond Kegan's fifth order — provisionally Coral (Kegan 5.5) — at which past and future resolve into a single operant future-past, the body becomes a processing mind-center, and time and soma fuse into a precise (savant-grade) indicator of wholeness, completeness, rest, and exploration. Argues this integration is required for internal coherence. Paper V in the series; original contribution extending the Coral Hypothesis.
