This paper presents a complete and revised theoretical framework for Psycho-Cosmocide — a term coined to describe the most comprehensive yet structurally invisible form of colonial violence ever perpetrated against Indigenous peoples: the systematic destruction of a people's entire cosmological framework and their lived relationship with reality. The concept first appeared in Papuan Tragedy: 300 Warnings from the Edge of Extinction, published in June 2025, where it was introduced as a diagnostic framework emerging from the ongoing catastrophe in West Papua. It was subsequently developed and formalised as a standalone theoretical contribution and published on PhilPapers in November 2025. This revised and expanded edition deepens the foundational architecture in response to that reception and to the continuing urgency of the subject matter. The paper sets out seven key contributions to decolonial and civilisational theory. The twenty foundational reasons establishing the necessity of the concept are organised into five analytical clusters. First, Wone — the primordial Lani cosmological ordering principle — is established as the philosophical basis of the entire framework and situated comparatively alongside the Greek Logos, the Egyptian Maʿat, the Chinese Dao, the Hebrew Dabar, the Polynesian Mana, and the Lakota Wakan Tanka, demonstrating both the universality of the problem the framework addresses and the irreplaceable specificity of its Lani origin. Second, precise definitions are developed for the four terms constituting the framework — Wone, Psyche, Psycho, and Cosmocide — alongside their full etymological genealogy and philosophical positioning. Third, the Lani ontological vocabulary — Ap, Ap-ap, Oʿgur, Mu'nggar, Aʿnggena, and Kugi — is presented as a comprehensive philosophical system providing the most granular Indigenous perspective on the destruction caused by Psycho-Cosmocide at the levels of the self, ancestry, shadow, ordering spirit, and community. Fourth, the complete mechanism of the Civilisational Psycho-Cosmocide Virus (CPCV), operating through six stages of infection and three categories of carrier, is set out. Fifth, the Eight Atlases of Human Reality are presented as simultaneous sites of cosmological disruption. Sixth, the Dynamic Atlas Model of civilisation survival and collapse is presented together with the Noah's Ark function — the minimum survival package required to preserve a cosmological world from destruction. Seventh, the three available paths for individuals living within the CPCV are mapped: compliance, resistance, and Wonesis. Taken together, these contributions represent not merely a revision but a maturation. The framework has evolved from identifying the wound to mapping its entire structure, its historical depth, and its contemporary digital frontier — including the terminal phase of digital cosmological mining. The paper includes a substantive engagement with civilisational collapse theory, a full treatment of the twenty foundational reasons for why the term was coined, the complete mythological and analogical arsenal through which the framework is communicated, the final thesis on the four possible futures for the human species, and the eight pillars of Wonesis as the only available orientation that the evidence honestly permits.
