From compliance to collaboration: mental health coercion, structural violence, and the urgent operational redesign of all our failing societal life support systems
Report on ongoing expert action to replace degraded infrastructures with functional architectures for human continuity from one health education, invitation to join in
Reading time: 7–10 minutes
Post summary: The following text presents some of the most important findings of my doctoral dissertation on coercion in Spanish psychiatry. It introduces the actions that follow now, as ongoing participatory research, a structural response to system-level failure. It outlines how institutional violence is encoded in life support systems, inviting to coordinated engagement in Horizon Europe proposals aligned our work.
My dissertation, now shared, offers a systematic analysis of how institutional frameworks within the Spanish legal and clinical apparatus function as compromised life support systems. Coercion replaces governance, and degradation is encoded as default response. What is administratively labelled psychiatric care relies on the exclusion of subject agency, pharmacological enforcement, and diagnostic imposition, with systemic violence embedded not as anomaly but as structural condition. Empirical findings document cumulative biological, cognitive, legal, and relational harms, including metabolic disruption, executive dysfunction, administrative incapacitation, and premature death. These are produced outcomes, not statistical exceptions. Regulatory scripts convert testimony into deviance and lived context into diagnostic error, ensuring dependency while annulling volition. Professional conduct is redirected by logistics that penalizing and punish dissent, prohibiting ethical restructuring. Early demising, normalizing the killing. This most brutally cruel and common systemic illegitimacy follows our failure to meet minimal epistemic, legal, or humanitarian thresholds, societal-wise. Reconfiguration cannot proceed by gradual amendment but requires functional replacement with empirical legitimate, rights and duties based, system-coherent protocols sustaining all life support systems integrity and epistemic accountability of all its failures.

Replication of coercion, including the juridical and medical analogues of pasung, confirms the existence of a distributed architecture of violence extending across what are defined as life support systems: legal, medical, educational, and welfare institutions. Regulatory prohibitions against shackling have not removed its structural equivalents, which persist through chemical containment, institutional captivity, and documentary nullification. Relegation of the individual to biological instability, legal absence, and relational collapse is procedurally enacted. Replication of injury is ensured by institutional mimicry and policy contagion. Recorded outcomes include early death, involuntary abandonment, chronic impairment, and blocked recovery, not as failures but as engineered consequences. Retention of testimonial erasure, administrative disappearance of children, and the penalization of self-directed improvement exemplify a model that processes person-hood as disposable trash by any bad actor ill willing, criminals in any societal role posing a threat that requires our energetic response. Role-holders, whether complicit or constrained, act within an epistemically collapsed field that impedes moral repair.
Lives of ours, cut short. Mine, tortured, through all work shared. Those in power are structurally denying all chances. Reorganization must be governed externally, from the standpoint of an imperative, integrated system revamp and redeployment. The integrated governance of human, ecological, and relational conditions, one health, constitutes the only sound, viable, architecture for the achievement of all sustainable development goals, whose interdependence reflects the indivisibility of life itself.
Humanity requires much better than current and past punitive control, still spiraling down to increased hatred in the guise of peace, if ever achieved at any level. It all, any peace in itself always being trubles masked as settlement in agreement, unless an all encompassing, reliable, planned, path forward is set straight. The manifest cost of failure is obvious in the collapse of public health infrastructures, mass displacement, ecological destabilization, and full-blown cruel systemic violence normalized within institutions nominally tasked with care, protection and education. Injustice piles on, including in the legal system itself as corrupt life destruction agent. The human toll includes premature mortality, chronic disease, reproductive harm, cognitive erosion, and mass psychological distress, all compounded by environmental degradation and the institutional inability to prevent or reverse cascading breakdowns. Without coordinated correction of the infrastructures producing this harm, current trajectories predict the escalation of collapse, total infrastructural destruction and a more widely spread major planetary crisis within a generation.
My work, undertaken during extreme violence, is a redesign of core life governance functions, providing a convergent operational response to those conditions. It does not promise symbolic alignment, but delivers the structural foundations required for human continuity, enabling future viability through knowledge integration, educational deployment, and institutional reinforcement if successful. Once fully constructed, this architecture will enable the real-time prevention of structural harm and the sustained emergence of dignified, intelligent, and peaceful coexistence.
Responding to this urgency, my own participatory action research has already initiated the required construction of coordinated infrastructure for implementation-level structural correction. Rooted in lifelong readiness, current global field analysis, and trans-disciplinary synthesis, it operationalizes the replacement of disjointed, high-harm systems with standardized, ethically aligned infrastructures. One health is redeployed as a functional governance model integrating human, ecological, and technological dimensions under a shared operational logic. Re-framing education as the principal lever of institutional redesign, the action reassigns schools as establishing environments for biological integrity, relational coherence, and civic viability. Repositories of open code, digital feedback mechanisms, and institutional monitoring systems enable continuous modular deployment. Resource allocation follows mapped governance pathways linking medical, legal, engineering, ecological, and pedagogical functions. Remaining modules and missions are structured for peer-reviewed replication. Real-time correction, legal durability, and sustained capacity are the operational criteria. EU BEACON One Health Education action constitutes the most obvious output; a mother platform for global life governance, an entry point.
Researchers, institutions, legal experts, medical practitioners, educators, and relevant domain actors are invited to the upcoming coordination video-call for the ongoing Horizon Europe proposals aligned with our action. Registration must proceed via: https://doodle.com/group-poll/participate/dw7P9AMd. Required documentation includes updated role matrices, identified hosts, field specifications, and readiness indicators. Resource pathways, infrastructural interfaces, data protocols, and mission scheduling will be presented. Roles remaining open for integration will be listed. Retrospective alignment with open science requirements will be ensured through full documentation. This is an open to all new contributors committed to life support system redesign and implementation. Be welcomed in.
