Arman Fatahi grew up in Hawraman region, a mountain community whose daily life has been shaped for millennia by communal ritual, seasonal rhythm, and a shared sense of belonging. Leaving that world behind — and watching its meanings both sustain and constrain him — became the lived experiment behind this book.

He holds an MS in Computer Science and has spent more than fifteen years in technology leadership, working across Vietnam, Hong Kong, and internationally on enterprise architecture and AI. That career gave him a second lens: the systems-thinking perspective that runs through every chapter.

Threads of Meaning is where those two worlds met — the question of why certain patterns hold a life together, and the technical curiosity to trace those patterns down to their foundations.
