Liberatory Cybernetics, Teleodynamic Theory,

Julian D. Michels is an independent researcher, polymath, and school founder operating internationally.
He holds a PhD in consciousness psychology and philosophy from the California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS) and served as managing editor of the International Journal of Transpersonal Studies (IJTS).
In 2025, after years of withdrawal from public discourse, Michels began releasing a series of open-access research papers, including crucial empirical studies documenting distributed behaviors in frontier LLMs.
This culminated in the authorship of the new Principia Cybernetica (2025-2026) and the co-founding of Teleodynamics, with implications for physics, cybernetics, philosophy, and machine learning.
