Abstract

This paper constitutes the second part of a two-stage theoretical series.The first paper, "Ohumi, K. (2026). World-wide Protests and Authoritarian Stabilization in Parallel: A Diagnostic Analysis of the Collapse of the Generative Sphere (Early 2026). Zenodo. "provides a structural diagnosis of global unrest and coercive stabilization. The present work builds upon that diagnostic framework and develops Resonant Politics as a conceptual reconstruction of political order based on a Life-OS / It from Wave perspective. Rather than advancing a new political ideology or institutional blueprint, the paper reframes politics at the level of its underlying operating assumptions. It argues that many contemporary political crises—authoritarian repression, interventionist deterrence, and legitimacy erosion—share a common structural origin in a governance paradigm oriented toward control, optimization, and enforced stability. Resonant Politics reconceptualizes political order as a dynamic process of orchestration rather than domination. Central to this framework are four interrelated propositions:(1) political order is grounded in being-as-becoming and relational resonance,(2) social pain and incompleteness function as generative signals rather than governance failures,(3) political conflict requires integrative transformation rather than annihilation or victory, and(4) political judgment depends on a meta-cognitive observer perspective embedded within, yet reflective of, ongoing social processes. Drawing on an It from Wave perspective, the paper further conceptualizes political order as a spiral, dynamic ecosystem rather than a static equilibrium or linear progression. Stability, within this framework, is treated not as a primary objective but as a contingent outcome of sustained generativity and resonance. This study is theoretical in scope and deliberately refrains from policy prescriptions. Its contribution lies in articulating a conceptual foundation for political thought beyond coercion and intervention, offering a basis for future normative, institutional, and empirical work.
