The Sculptural Trail
Located on the grounds of the Wilburton Inn, The Sculptural Trail in the History of Love is a set of exhibits that introduce the creative process as a natural science moral order phenomenon, the unit of the social sciences. The secrets of happiness have preoccupied the imagination of thinkers throughout history. Many stories, scriptures, and scientific papers remain theories; they tell us about the secrets without ever reaching the criteria of scientific validation. A new theoretical perspective suggests that happiness is in the formal organization of ideas in stories into units of conflict resolution. The sculptural trail validates this theory by illustrating that all stories are conflict resolutions and that the nabstract structure of all stories is a universal phenomenon, the unit of conflict resolution.

The Paradigm Shift
From believing in the political and religious stories that divide us to understanding the universal plot of stories, the creative process as a scientific phenomenon that unites us.
1. The Fairytale
Cycle One
All stories evolve in a predictable manner, from a conflict to a resolution, that somehow boy meets girl and that they live happily ever after. This resolution corresponds to the predictable outcome of all fairytales.
2. The Epics of the Goddess
Cycle Two
The secret to happiness is is an entire spectrum of difficulties in getting the girl and staying happily married. The sculptural stations are the famous women of the grand epics. The Goddesses represent a range of conflicts and resolutions. We observe the evolution of the girl and of beauty as a series of heroic women and love stories, conflicts or gender wars, presenting how cultures advanced specific resolutions sequentially towards ideal marital relationships.
3. The Scriptures of One God
Cycle Three
In this phase of the evolution of relationships between the genders, happiness is not the love of women, but in the love of one God; women are seen as a source of conflict and their role is to be self-effacing, humble, and supportive. This imbalance is an injustice perpetrated by The Bible as women are discriminated as second class citizens.
4. The Memorial to the 20th Century
Cycle Four
The fourth cycle presents the secrets to happiness provided by the three Abrahamic religions reconciled as formal alternative conflict resolutions unified by the calculus of Power Management.
Showing how stories inspired, but misled the 20th century. The exhibit showcases what is universal in all stories as a scientific mechanism.
