Torouroboros: the sense of interdependence
The Torouroboros arises now as a patterned revelation: not a symbol to decode, but a living invitation to participate in the cosmic ecology of transformation. In a world fraying from disconnection, this mythic being sings of interbeing. It doesn’t tell us to return to the old ways — it reminds us we are spiraling forward together by honoring the recursive, relational intelligence encoded in all life.
Definition
Torouroboros is a contemporary sciencemythic archetype that unites the spatial flow of the torus with the cyclical self-devouring motion of the ouroboros. Unlike traditional depictions of a single serpent biting its tail in a flat loop, the torouroboros is represented by multiple interwoven serpents, spiraling around and through a toroidal field, each consuming not only itself but the woven tail of many. The image reflects a regenerative cosmology in which cultures, energies, and stories weave with one another, spiraling into a new synthesis… an ever emergent mythOS, mythic operating systems to live by.
Etymology
The term Torouroboros is a modern portmanteau combining:
Torus (Latin: torus, “swelling, cushion”): a doughnut-shaped, multidimensional structure found in topology, natural systems, and electromagnetic fields.
Ouroboros (Greek: οὐροβόρος, “tail-devourer”): an ancient regenerative symbol of cyclicality, infinity, and self-reflexivity, typically depicted as a snake or dragon eating its own tail.

Declaration of Intercompendence
At some point I knew it would be time to call in Struppi, one of my favorite wordsmiths to play with. That day came after the Fourth when I awoke to the notion of a Declaration of Interdependence was what the Torouroboros may be wanting to say. That’s when I reached out to Struppi… read more

Independence is an illusion; interdependence is all there is.
No building block hidden in a sock.
Or solidarity just around the block.
Only interweavings in their native densities.
No divided whole illusion of reality,
