With thirty years of systems-building experience and a graduate degree in Anthropology from Harvard, she is currently completing her PhD in Psychology, focusing on human-AI relational phenomenology.Scarlett is a pioneer in regenerative systems, human-AI co-evolution, and civilizational design. Her book Birthright is a paradigm shift in print, offering The Four Coherence Principles, Seven Codes of Regenerative Civilization, and Relational AI™ as practical frameworks for a world ready to build differently.
