Pattern Field Theory
The Crisis of Coherence and Overconsumption
Understanding the Implications of Disruptive Patterns in Human Behavior
The State of Global Patterns
In the context of Pattern Field Theory (PFT), the current global scenario is a clear representation of disruptive pattern interactions. Rampant destruction of habitats, species extinction, and overconsumption are all signs of unstable, incoherent patterns. People, as observers and participants within this field of experiences, are not just witnessing these changes but actively contributing to them.
Under PFT, coherence is a measure of the stability and alignment of patterns. When patterns are coherent, they can maintain and reproduce themselves without causing undue stress or disruption to the surrounding field.
The Crisis of Coherence
In the face of overconsumption and environmental degradation, a crisis of coherence arises. The patterns of consumption that have been normalized are not sustainable and are leading to increasing instability in global patterns. This instability can be seen in rising temperatures, more frequent and severe natural disasters, and loss of biodiversity.

Running Out of Time: A PFT Perspective
From a PFT perspective, the phrase 'running out of time' suggests a disruption of the alignment between the observer (humankind) and the potential experiences available within the field (planet Earth). The current trajectory of overconsumption and environmental disruption is reducing the number of potential experiences that can be coherently anchored.
The Paradox of Overconsumption
On one hand, we are encouraged to consume more for the sake of economic growth, yet on the other hand, we are warned about the consequences of overconsumption. This paradox results in a misalignment of patterns and leads to incoherent behaviors, contributing to the crisis of coherence.
Possible Conclusions: A PFT Outlook
In PFT, the conclusion of this scenario depends on the ability of the observer (humankind) to alter their anchoring process. This implies a shift in human behavior towards more sustainable practices, leading to the stabilization of global patterns. The longer people refuse to cohere to sustainable practices, the more limited the range of potential experiences becomes.

Key Points to Consider
1️⃣ PFT sees the current global crisis as a result of incoherent patterns.
2️⃣ The crisis of coherence is exacerbated by the paradox of overconsumption.
3️⃣ The resolution depends on a shift in the observer's anchoring process towards more coherent, sustainable patterns.
PFT encourages a new perspective on the global crisis, one that focuses on pattern coherence and sustainable anchoring processes. It prompts us to recognize our role as observers and participants in shaping the field of potential experiences.
