About Paradigm Red

Some systems break down. Others break through.

Paradigm Red is a space for those shaping the future of systems — not by controlling them, but by understanding their deeper patterns and tensions. It’s where thinkers, coaches, and leaders go when they’ve realized that surface-level solutions no longer work.

This project explores the messy, nonlinear, human side of transformation: how paradigms collapse, how cultures shift, and what it takes to lead when everything is changing — including you.


👤 Author & Creator

Denys Kostin — creator of Paradigm Red Created by Denys Kostin — systems thinker, strategist, and author of multiple books exploring the intersection of intuition, transformation, and human complexity.

Denys works at the edge of collapse and renewal — helping systems evolve through insight, not force. His approach blends intuitive intelligence, trauma-informed thinking, and strategic clarity to navigate uncertainty with depth.

This project is both human and more-than-human. Paradigm Red reflects conversations between Denys Kostin and AI assistants, showing how systems thinking, creativity, and technology can together illuminate the shifts shaping our future.

His other projects include:

  • Intuition Management — a platform for developing intuitive clarity in leadership and complex decision-making.
  • Enyko — a Ukrainian-language resource for psychological resilience and self-help during and after war.

🎯 Why “Red”?

In Spiral Dynamics and other development models, the “Red” paradigm represents power, survival, rebellion, and disruption. It’s not where we’re meant to stay — but it’s often where change begins.

Paradigm Red exists to understand that disruption, to navigate it wisely, and to use it as a doorway toward something more intelligent, more human, and more whole.
