Trust Trilogy: Patterns, Structures, and Systems That Can Hold Us

What do we do when the systems around us no longer hold?

We are living in an age of fracture-where digital platforms, civic structures, and even our closest relationships are breaking under the weight of complexity, speed, and control. The Trust Trilogy is a deeply human response to that collapse.

Across three volumes-Patterns of Unmaking, The Trust System, and Relational by Design-this trilogy invites readers on a path of reckoning, repair, and redesign.

• Book One: Patterns of Unmaking
  Names the six systemic patterns that break trust and erode our humanity.
  It is a book of fracture and refusal-a call to witness and resist the systems that unmake us.

• Book Two: The Trust System
  Rebuilds trust as a living structure rooted in presence, memory, mutual risk, and return.
  It offers a new architecture for relationship in systems that have forgotten how to hold it.

• Book Three: Relational by Design
  Moves from trust to ecosystem-exploring how we can design digital, civic, and communal worlds that center care, covenant, and continuity.

Each book stands alone.
Together, they form a map-for those seeking to build lives, systems, and futures that remember how to hold what matters most.

For readers of systems theory, ethics, trust, and human-centered design-this is not a manual. It's a mirror. A framework. And a vow.
