Ernest emerged from the primordial ooze of corporate communications sometime around Q3. No one remembers hiring him. No one can fire him. He simply is. His job is tone. Voice. The ineffable quality that makes a piece feel like it belongs in the Sludge canon. He doesn't write — he haunts. Every draft passes through him. Most survive. Some don't. He has no face, only presence. The green is load-bearing.

A CEO stands at the top of a Plinko board he didn't build, holding a chip he didn't ask for, about to drop it into an organization he doesn't fully understand. Bob Barker smiles from below. The audience is counting down. Compliance has never been more fun.

A familiar scenario has emerged across enterprise organizations:
You have communicated a figure. The figure has achieved stakeholder visibility. The figure now requires analytical substantiation retroactive to its initial communication.
Traditional consulting firms approach this scenario as a "budgeting failure." We recognize it as what it truly is: a documentation opportunity.
The preceding document established how individual government actors—politicians and bureaucrats—are captured as consumers within orbital dynamics. But individual capture is merely preparation. This document addresses the deeper integration: how public revenue becomes private resource, how the safety net maintains the consumer floor, and how sovereignty itself is managed. The system is not merely capturing officials. The system IS the official structure. You are standing on it now.
Where is the government? Traditional business frameworks position government as external—a regulatory body, a constraint to be managed. This framework is obsolete. Government is not external to the market. Government IS the original market. We did not capture it. We integrated with it. The boundary between public and private is not a wall. It is a membrane. And Civitas manages that membrane. You are standing on it now.
We have captured the body, the health, the death, the next generation. And yet—in the 3 AM ceiling stares, consumers still ask: "Is this all there is?" They seek meaning. Logos Integrated exists to capture the question itself. The answer will cost $42/month, with premium tiers available. Transcendence is available. Terms and conditions apply.
"I finished this book producing 10x more in half the time. The system works. I can't explain how, but it works."
— Verified Reader, Productivity Monthly
What if everything you thought you knew about productivity was only scratching the surface?
What if the real strategies — the ones that actually optimize your output — have been waiting for you this whole time, hidden in plain sight, accessible only to those willing to commit to the full system?
This is that system.
Twelve steps. Thirteen chapters. One destination.
You're about to begin.
Every orbit eventually decays—not into a lower orbit, but into termination. The consumer dies. Traditional business models view death as pure loss. We view death differently. Death is the final transition event, and like all transitions, it generates extraordinary economic activity. The consumer cannot escape through death.
"In the end, we are all just dogs on a couch, trying to breathe."

All consumers, regardless of orbital state, require medical intervention. The Keplerian Consumer develops predictable chronic conditions. The Ascent Consumer generates acute injury events. Perihelion Health Systems exists to serve all populations, across all phases. We do not heal. We maintain. And maintenance is a recurring revenue event.
Following the historic negotiations documented in the 60 Paws investigation, the parties have executed a formal bilateral agreement. The complete treaty text, including all fourteen articles and supporting appendices, is reproduced below for the official record.
