Using the case of Université Simon Kimbangu (USK) and CENA as a focal point, I examine how curricula, language policies and publication standards either reinforce or subvert the imperial order.

Colonial lexicography systematically fragmented Kikongo's internal logic to make it legible to European categories.

I argue that the traditional discourse of "African unity" has functioned largely as a sentimental alibi, masking the absence of enforceable federative mechanisms. The article outlines a modular architecture of Pan-African institutions that can be prototyped by coalitions of willing states.

Narcissistic family systems reproduce, at a reduced scale, the same patterns of instrumentalisation, gaslighting and sacrificial scapegoating that later appear in autocratic regimes.

They are jurisdictions that distribute protection, movement, land access, and political voice. When state capacity is uneven and historical literacy is thin, border disputes become ignitable through narrative operations that convert ambiguity into mobilizable certainty, often accelerating coercion or proxy violence. This paper models that ignition pathway as Border Mythogenesis (BM): a codeable set of claim motifs (restoration, priority, othering, delegitimation, and security laundering) that predictably intensify under specific conditions.

I treat these texts not as transparent descriptions of reality but as ritual instruments that license dispossession.

Through close analysis of Mandombe's geometric base, recursive construction and quadrant logic, I show how the script affords a matrix view of relations better suited to federal, polycentric governance.

K. Université Simon Kimbangu — Département MENI This article examines African churches as micro-laboratories of political obedience that subtly train believers in the same dispositions demanded by authoritarian states. Many church environments reproduce the triad: sacrificial subject, charismatic abuser and complicit bystander.

It collapses layered governance (lineage, city-state, alliance, federation) into biology, erases indigenous concepts of state and contract, and triggers In-Group Psychopathy through pseudospeciation.

The framework shifts the explanatory center away from dark traits alone toward a broader spectrum of pathological formations organized around entitlement, inversion, dissociation, domination, and the regulation of personhood.

I introduce M-Logic₀, a propositional calculus whose connectives and inference rules are constrained by mvuala–kisimba configurations and their allowed rotations, reflections and concatenations.

It proposes a symbolic-geometric learning algorithm that uses inversion and rotation logic instead of linear weighting. Simulations demonstrate higher interpretability and resistance to data bias, aligning with decolonial computing principles.

I define four core primitives – singini, mvuala, kisimba and yikamu – and a small set of operations: rotation, reflection, branching, concatenation and recursion.
