Rewriting Realities is a philosophical and artistic research practice grounded in systems thinking. At the heart of the work is an inquiry into how language programs perception and, through this, shapes reality at personal, institutional, and societal levels.

The project is developed by Mabel Mauritz, philosopher, systems thinker, writer, and artist. Her research examines how dominant metaphors such as time as money, value as productivity, and the human as resource become embedded in bodies, institutions, and everyday life. These metaphors do not merely describe reality. They function as organising logics that structure perception, behaviour, law, economics, and identity.

A central concern of the work is monologic thinking: systems that enforce a single interpretative framework and suppress relational, contextual, or embodied forms of knowing. Such systems often present themselves as neutral or inevitable, while in practice producing alienation, rigidity, and systemic harm without explicit intent. Rewriting Realities investigates how monologic structures are stabilised through language and how alternative, relational modes of sense making can be restored.

The project is guided by fractal thinking as a form of relational reasoning. Rather than treating social problems as isolated or scale bound, it examines how patterns repeat across levels of experience. The same organising logics can appear in individual perception, interpersonal relations, institutional design, and ecological systems, not as identical copies, but as structurally related expressions shaped by context. This approach allows local phenomena to be understood as part of larger systemic configurations, and systemic failures to be traced back to everyday practices of language and meaning.

Within this framework, basic security is approached as a triadic structure rather than a single condition. It refers to the simultaneous presence of bodily and material safety, relational and social embeddedness, and symbolic and legal recognition. These dimensions are mutually constitutive. When one is isolated or absolutised, the system becomes unstable and coercive. When held together, they form the ground from which agency, responsibility, and ethical action can emerge.

From this perspective, unconditional basic income is not treated as a standalone economic measure, but as one possible intervention within a broader reconfiguration of how societies organise security, worth, and participation.

Drawing on philosophy of language, cognitive linguistics, systems theory, and trauma informed perspectives, the project explores how linguistic and conceptual patterns stabilise across individual, institutional, and ecological domains. The work moves beyond critique toward the development of perceptual and conceptual tools that allow alternative forms of sense making to emerge.

The practice moves between philosophy, art, and applied systems analysis. Essays, visual installations, films, and public texts function as research instruments rather than representations. They are designed to interrupt automatised perception, slow cognition, and open space for relational ways of engaging with time, work, value, nature, and one another.

Rewriting Realities offers a framework for inquiry and orientation, enabling institutions, policymakers, artists, and citizens to examine how realities are constructed and how responsibility emerges within those processes.
