  Where the River Meets the Sky A Reflection on Love, Nature, and Shared Belonging Author (Contributor): Temesgen Muleta-Erena TC Press Ecology Series Some songs are about two people. Others are about nature. Where the River Meets the Sky is about both. The song begins with a simple image: two people sharing a moment beside a river. There is no grand stage, no city lights, and no pursuit of material wealth. Instead, the setting is a living landscape of water, trees, birds, mountains, and open sky. In this environment, love becomes part of the natural world rather than something separate from it. The central idea of the song is that human relationships flourish when they are connected to the places that sustain life. The river represents continuity and movement. The trees symbolize endurance. The mountains suggest stability. Together, these elements remind us that love grows not only between people but also through our connection with the Earth itself. Throughout the lyri...

  One Sky, One Home on the Spinning Blue A Reflection on Planetary Belonging, Human Connection, and World Music Author (Contributor): Temesgen Muleta-Erena   TC Press Ecology Series    Music has a unique ability to transform simple observations into shared human experiences. One Sky, One Home on the Spinning Blue is built around a simple but powerful idea: despite our differences, humanity lives together on a small revolving planet suspended in the vastness of space.

  Nooruu Yaa Birraa: The Timeless Anthem of Irreecha and Oromo Renewal   Author (producer): Temesgen Muleta-Erena Affiliation: TC Press, London https://youtube.com/shorts/DrVuSIE_QZE https://youtu.be/MQ5Y-gFzp7U Every year, as the heavy seasonal rains give way to the brilliant golden skies of Birraa , the Oromo nation undergoes a profound spiritual and cultural awakening. The fields burst into vibrant flora ( Birraa baala daraartuu ), and the air is filled with a sense of renewal, gratitude, and deep reverence. At the heart of this seasonal transformation lies Irreecha —the grand thanksgiving festival of the Oromo people. Unlike a fixed holiday, Irreecha is a living, breathing tradition that transcends any single year. It is an evergreen celebration of life, a timeless anthem of gratitude sung across generations whenever the season of harvest and light returns. What is Irreecha in Oromo Society? In Oromo society, Irreecha is much more than a festival; it is the cor...

  Daily Cognitive Erosion: A Decision-Science Model of Personal Entropy and System Entropy in Modern Societies   Temesgen Muleta-Erena (PhD) Economist, Sovereign Publisher, Epistemic Steward Affiliation: TC Press / The Codex Press, London Abstract This paper introduces a formal decision-theoretic and game-theoretic framework to analyse daily cognitive erosion : the progressive decay of fundamental reasoning, spatial mapping, and practical problem-solving skills driven by habitual digital offloading or structural exclusion. We formalize this phenomenon as an interaction between personal entropy (the degradation of internal cognitive activation states) and system entropy (the environmental opacity, automated complexity, and infrastructural friction of modern socioeconomic architectures). By constructing a multi-agent game-theoretic model between utility-maximizing individuals and institutional or technological systems, we demonstrate how rational short-term offloading ...
