The idea that the cosmos itself, or a planetary system, functions like a single, self-regulating super-organism born from and intimately connected to the primordial void. It blends the creative, maternal aspect of the Abyss (Nammu) with the Gaia theory's view of Earth as a complex, balancing system. This hypothesis suggests that the universe isn't just inert stuff; it's a conscious or semi-conscious entity that maintains conditions for complexity and life, not out of benevolence, but as an intrinsic function of its nature. The void (Abzu) is the source, and the living cosmos (Nammu) is its active, nurturing, and sometimes brutally corrective manifestation. The grandest vision of a living universe: the theory that the entire cosmos is a single, self-regulating, and perhaps conscious entity. It extends Earth's biosphere homeostasis to all scales, proposing that the laws of physics, the distribution of galaxies, and the emergence of life are not accidents, but parts of a meta-system working to optimize conditions for complexity and perhaps its own self-awareness. The universe isn't just here; it's a body, and we, along with stars and dark matter, are its cells and neural pathways.
