Stephen Bau has been exploring mental models that help people to perceive the shift in awareness and consciousness that is required to transform the purposes, behaviours, and effects of our social architecture from building entropy machines to being in relationship with the Earth as a living syntropic organism, a holobiont.

By exploring the integration of physics and metaphysics, we can reconnect with the imaginative possibilities of pataphysics, to be whole integrated living beings. This mental model recognizes the precessional effect of the emergence of life in the relationships of gravity and radiation that connect us with the Sun, Earth, and Moon. This model is inspired by the poetry of Buckminster Fuller: love is metaphysical gravity. The tensegrity of the inner and outer architecture of Universe is the creative force from which life emerges.

Synergetics 543.22 Love is the integral of gravity and radiation.
Inspired by the Christian Bible, Indigenous cosmologies, and Buckminster Fuller, this mental model for a living being integrates time, energy, and matter with heart, mind, and body to explore the interactions between inner experience and outer reality that creates the dynamically emergent qualities of consciousness and life.
The subjective experience of perception (senses), cognition (mind), emotion (heart), and action (body) form a tetrahedral structure that defines the relationships of tension and compression in a dynamic system. These six relationships can be defined as the inner essence (inner architecture):

* Body : Inspiration
* Senses : Interbeing
* Mind : Intention
* Spirit : Intuition
* Heart : Intimacy
* Soul : Integrity

And the outer expression (outer architecture):

* Action : Syntropy
* Time : Synchronicity
* Cognition : Synthesis
* Energy : Synergy
* Emotion : Synesthesia
* Matter : Synarchy

At the centre is the awareness and consciousness of perception, the stillness found in the void and in the unity of the whole.
This is a mental model of the interface of a living being. This mental model also maps to the orbit of the Earth around the solar system. There are also interesting relationships at the scale of a week. The model is spherical, cyclical and dynamic, avoiding problems we create when we think only in terms of separate parts in abstract, flat, linear, and static patterns.
Can this model also be applied to different scales from the micro to the macro? Buckminster Fuller referred to “the primitive unity of the tetrahedron—one quantum—the minimum structural system of Universe.”

Buckminster Fuller seemed to be suggesting that physics is inseparable from metaphysics. Perhaps, pataphysics is the creative possibility that emerges from the inner and outer structure of Universe. Therefore, life is the emergent property of the integration of mind, heart, and body with time, energy, and matter. Consciousness, then, is inseparable from the reality of a living Universe.
