Key Points

This framework aims to analyze the interplay between media and power in the evolution of civilizations.
Developed an interdisciplinary theoretical framework based on four core questions.
Categorized 140+ civilization samples to validate fracture patterns and reconstruction pathways.
Identified three fracture patterns and corresponding asymmetrical arbitrators.
Confirmed three basic fracture patterns: physical supply chain disruptions, audience belief collapses, and knowledge carrier eliminations.
Established four potential trajectories following system fractures: total breakdown and reconstruction, partial breakdown and adaptation, continuity, and relocation for reconstruction.
Discussed media dimension counting and institutional redundancy concepts.

Theoretical framework analyzes civilizational evolution through media and power interactions, suggesting implications for societal structures.
