Bishnu Pathak - TRANSCEND Media Service

This book was edited by Matt Meyer, Leo Semashko, and Lukas Pawlik. The initial draft was prepared by Leo Semashko and then shared with the co-authors for their suggestions, comments, and approval. The 19 other co-authors, including prominent figures like Mairead Corrigan Maguire, Thea Marie Robert, Rudolf Siebert, Noam Chomsky, and others, came from 10 different countries. The book, with 120 pages, was independently published with support from Rudolf Siebert’s family in New York in September 2025.

Developed over 20 years by the Gandhian Global Harmony Association Peacemaking Volunteer Academy with input from over 700 co-authors from 50 countries, including five Nobel laureates and the President of India, Abdul Kalam, this science of holistic, spheral thinking uncovers the objective laws governing the internal harmony of Earth’s three spheres: physical, organic, and social. It is based on the common planetary law of Equal Necessity and Sufficient Spheres.

Acknowledgments from notable scholars include Mairead Corrigan Maguire, Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam, Glen T. Martin, Noam Chomsky, Rudolf J. Siebert, Matt Meyer, Leo Semashko, Lukas Pawlik, and Noor Muhammad Larik, among others, who share their insights on peace, nonviolence, and the importance of envisioning peace and prosperity for all nations on Earth.

The book commemorates the 80th anniversary of the victory over European Nazism on May 9, 2025, honoring the USSR people who sacrificed over 27 million lives to eradicate Nazism and promote perpetual peace for humanity.  It also pays tribute to Leo Semashko’s mother, Rumyantsewa Konstantinovna (1920-2003), who saved his life as a newborn during a Nazi bombing in June 1941. Her courage, along with the murder of Leo’s father by the Nazis at the start of WWII, inspired his commitment to peacemaking and achieving victory without war.

Reflecting on John F. Kennedy’s call for an “end to war before it ends humanity,” Thea Maria Robert emphasizes the importance of truth, drawing inspiration from Mahatma Gandhi’s belief that “Truth is God; therefore, truth alone triumphs.” The book is dedicated to Professor Dr. Johan Galtung, the pioneer of peace studies, and Professor Dr. John Avery and Mairead Corrigan Maguire, Nobel Peace Prize winners, for their support of GGHA’s perpetual peace science. Professor Rudolf Siebert is also recognized for fostering peace and unity within the GGHA through research, dialogue, and dissemination.

The text discusses the significance of peace science in promoting social harmony and understanding social structures and actors to achieve perpetual peace.  Introducing the spheral AI model as a universal tool for peace, the book targets individuals who value peace and harmony, including young learners, AI specialists, conflict-mitigating facilitators or mediators, politicians, and students of peace and conflict studies. The co-authors aim to present the basics of peace science in a simple and concise manner, highlighting peace as a fundamental necessity for all individuals.

Understanding perpetual peace requires a global perspective that takes into account humanity’s social spheres. Without this perspective, achieving perpetual peace has proven to be challenging. Perpetual peace can only be achieved through harmony among social production spheres and the population’s spherons. The primer offers a systematic approach to understanding perpetual peace on a global scale, integrating disciplinary thinking into a holistic framework.

Spheral thinking, as advocated by Martin Luther King Jr., encourages a shift from the arms race to a peace race. The GGHA peacemaking strategy, based on this concept, aims to revolutionize human civilization through AI innovations. The primer embodies this peace race, promoting perpetual peace and social harmony. Embracing this approach is essential to prevent war and ensure sustainable development. The spirit of peace-making, inspired by visionaries like Gandhi and Einstein, is central to the primer.

Chapter 1 introduces The Primer Abbreviations and Synonyms and The Golden Rule, which serve as the spiritual foundation for the Perpetual Peace Culture, its Spheral Science, and the coauthors of the primer. The concept of the “Peace Science Primer” (PSP) is now acknowledged as crucial to ending all wars and preventing catastrophic consequences like “Mutually Assured Destruction” (MAD) in the nuclear realm.  Various authors’ perspectives on the Golden Rule throughout history are explored, including its relevance for President Trump, the West, and Ukraine.

Chapter 2 discusses the establishment of GGHA in 2005 and the peacemaking achievements of peace science. The integration of these accomplishments paves the way for a perpetual peace culture renaissance within the realm of science, supported by innovative tools like AI. The chapter also explores the impact of Western nuclear civilization on MAD and its implications for humanity.

Chapter 3 delves into Earth’s three natures—physical, organic, and social—interconnected within a single planetary ecosystem. It emphasizes the idea that there is no room for war and violence in the lawful harmony of perpetual peace ordained by God. The chapter highlights the creation of the universe and our planet by God for the evolution towards perpetual peace through love and nonviolence.

Chapter 4 debates spheral scientific thinking in the evolution of cognition, emphasizing a conscious path towards perpetual peace and complete security.  The chapter presents the Hierarchical Spheral Theory, arranging spheres in a logical order and influencing the characteristics of social spheres within the PDEC sequence. The Spheres of Production Life—Sociosphere, Infosphere, Orgsphere, and Technoecosphere (SIOT)—are outlined, with Spherons representing the population segments involved in production spheres.

Chapter 5 explores the social nature spheres of social production and perpetual peace, governed by the universal planetary law of Equal Necessity and Sufficiency of Spheres (ENSS). The chapter maps the sixteen ENSS of planetary society, showcasing the spheres of human social life and productive substance that must maintain perpetual peace.

Chapter 6 discusses Gandhian Varnas/Spherons as the perpetual actors of humanity towards perpetual peace, emphasizing Mahatma Gandhi’s view that Varna is an unchangeable law of nature governing the human family.

Chapter 7 emphasizes understanding the dynamic nature of social production and peaceful multipolarity in the 21st century, exploring the static architecture and dynamic interrelations of social spheres through the Peace Science Primer.

Chapter 8 delves into fractal coupling, organization, and the unit of the social sphere in the principle of Anaxagoras, highlighting the eternal structural elements of society and their ternary qualimetry and harmony. Similarly, chapter 9 introduces systemic unity and Spheral Global Statistics as an intrinsic statistical tool for holistic spheral thinking and spheral AI, aiming to
advance global understanding and decision-making processes. Chapter 10 discusses the advantages of Spheral AI (SAI) in peace science, emphasizing its potential for humanity’s perpetual peace and promoting non-zero, positive-sum thinking.

Dr. Matt Meyer and co-authors wrote a letter to President Trump in October 2025 regarding the “Perpetual Peace Primer” for USA-Russia Summits, proposing the creation of an “Academy of Perpetual Peace” and a “Perpetual Peace Department” to work towards lasting peace. They urge President Trump to consider this initiative to achieve a ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine and leave a legacy of global peace.

In response to the UN Secretary-General’s plea for peace, immediate action is needed to combat violence, racism, inequality, and injustice. The Peace Race Primer should be widely disseminated in educational settings to foster a culture of global peace and reduce the risks associated with nuclear technology. Let’s collaborate to avert a potential nuclear catastrophe and promote peace, progress, and harmony.

Comments

As one of twenty co-authors from ten countries, the author strives to maintain objectivity in their contributions. The author believes that objectivity necessitates self-evaluation and the dedication to presenting only essential and accurate information. This approach aims to enhance comprehension without unnecessary embellishments. By upholding the value of truth in their work, each concept the author put forward contributes to the overarching goal of the book: shedding light on academic discourse, social production, and the quest for peaceful multipolarity.

Readers are typically drawn to a book by its title.  However, the current title, “The Spheral AI (SAI) Superiority from the Spherical Thinking Perpetual Peace Science. Primer. Peace Science and SAI” is meandering, long, convoluted, and difficult to understand. The use of a full stop in the title also seems awkward. To enhance clarity and accessibility, more concise alternatives could be

  1. The Spheral AI (SAI) Superiority from the Spheral Thinking Perpetual Peace Science,
    2. Spheral AI Superiority in Perpetual Peace Science, and
    3. Perpetual Peace Science.

This book aims to establish a Department of Peace and Spheral Peace Science Academy in powerful or conflict-ridden countries to promote lasting peace, resilience, and harmony. It was co-authored by experienced and well-known academics in the field of global peace initiatives, but the focus of this book is more on activism. To facilitate a comprehensive discussion of the book, particularly among elite power holders, letters have been sent to numerous heads of powerful nations to discuss the book, with more in progress. The NGO perspective of the book suggests it is focused on practical action rather than purely intellectual discourse. On the other hand, priority is given to co-authors, emphasizing the impact of power, politics, property, and privilege on global politics rather than individual knowledge capabilities.

The book frequently references Leo Semashko, the creator, designer, first draft writer, and editor, a total of 50 times. Editor-in-chief Matt Meyer is mentioned 17 times, while Nobel Peace Prize winner Mairead Corrigan Maguire and Rudolf Siebert are each mentioned 16 times.  This repetition of names throughout the book may be excessive and could be a result of different editors working on various sections, leading to inconsistencies in language and style. The PDF version I received lacks page numbers but includes numerous dedications. The content reads more like a book review, outlining the main activities of the Gandhian Global Harmony Association from its inception in 2005 to the present day.

Conclusion

This book, co-authored by prominent writers on peace and harmony, explores Immanuel Kant’s concept of “Perpetual Peace” and effectively conveys his ideas. It has attracted political interest and motivated individuals to pursue peace. The book also delves into Spherical Artificial Intelligence and Spherical Thinking Perpetual Peace Science, offering innovative perspectives on how AI can contribute to achieving perpetual peace. Its primary objective is to advocate for peace and unity among all people, regardless of their backgrounds. The text underscores the significance of peaceful dialogue in resolving conflicts across various societal levels. By uniting influential figures from different nations, the book contributes to a legacy of peace and harmony, promoting the Spherical movement.

The collaborative work of Perpetual Peace Science introduces “spheral thinking” and “spheral AI” as scientific tools for achieving global peace. Drawing on philosophy, sociology, and political theory, it proposes a novel approach to addressing war, nuclear threats, and environmental issues. Serving as a manifesto for a scientific perspective on peace, the book offers a framework for scholars, policymakers, and researchers in fields such as peace studies, systems theory, and Gandhian philosophy. This comprehensive guide aims to deepen understanding and support endeavors for peace, resilience, and harmony.

Overall, “The Spheral AI (SAI) Superiority from the Spheral Thinking Perpetual Peace Science” is a thought-provoking read that challenges conventional notions of peace and offers a new vision for a more harmonious world.

Thus, the GGHA advocates for peace, harmony, and reconciliation, promoting a shift away from the mutually assured destruction mindset through the principles of Gandhian Perpetual Peace Science. Let us work together to prevent war from leading to the destruction of humanity.
