The 21st Century will also be won on the battlefield of imaginaries – The Worldbuilding of Paul
Elvere DELSART

I am a committed author who regularly publishes books and articles focused on societal transformation,
social innovation, and sustainable development. My prolific and multilingual output aims to reach a
broad audience and promote my EL4DEV program on an international scale.
I propose concrete societal transformations by stimulating the collective imagination. I create a cultural
and intellectual halo and act as a catalyst for civic alternatives rather than as a traditional political actor.
Traditionally, worldbuilding is the detailed construction of a fictional universe (history, geography,
politics, languages, etc.), often used in literature, video games, or cinema.
But the term is increasingly used conceptually and transdisciplinarily to refer to the structured creation of
a universe of meaning, whether for:
• artistic projects,
• political ideologies,
• social movements,
• or cultural ecosystems.
Yes, I engage in worldbuilding - but in the real world. I build a transnational cultural, philosophical, and
artistic universe that combines utopia, socially engaged art, and social innovation. It is not pure fiction,
but rather a powerful narrative framework for acting in reality.
I create a complex and structured conceptual universe around several interconnected elements - a
metanarrative.
I invent quasi-fictional concepts that integrate into real-life concrete projects.

A – My action plan

My action plan, which I also carry out under the name "Green Emperor of the East and the West" aka
Henry Harper, is based on a transdisciplinary and profoundly reformative vision of society. My main
initiative, the EL4DEV program, aims to transform current social, economic, and ecological structures by
relying on principles of decentralized cooperation, social innovation, and environmental respect.
EL4DEV (Elvere for Development) is an international program that offers a new form of participatory
governance. Rather than creating new institutions, I seek to integrate existing structures by mobilizing
collective intelligence. My program aims to rebalance relationships between nations and peoples
through intellectual and artistic cooperation, cultural promotion, and knowledge sharing.
This concept, which I also call the EL4DEV Confederation, represents an organic societal
superstructure. It is a global network of living infrastructures, such as the LE PAPILLON SOURCE
complexes and Vegetal Calderas, capable of regenerating biodiversity, producing water in arid regions,
and stabilizing regional climates. These infrastructures are designed as self-sufficient artificial
ecosystems integrating soft geoengineering technologies.
LE PAPILLON SOURCE is an initiative I launched to create educational, experimental, and agroclimatic
complexes. These centers serve as hubs for social innovation, research, and participatory education.
