**Abstract:**
The diary of X’aloren, an extraterrestrial observer, chronicles the unfolding civil entropy of Earth’s global civilization. Through a systems worldview, the alien reflects on humanity’s maladaptive patterns: the amplification of chaos, bureaucratic overgrowth, social fragmentation, and the myth of infinite growth. As X’aloren examines the recursive dynamics of decline, the diary contemplates whether humans will transcend their systemic limitations or succumb to a slow, asymptotic collapse.
