Just listened to your interview with Kevin Kelly (May 23, 2023) in which you discussed this contest. Seems it's already too late, but like RyanCarey below, I thought ANASTROPHE could be the logical positive counterpart to CATASTROPHE. Since, as they note, "anastrophe" already exists as a term in linguistics/rhetoric, here are some other alternatives based on ancient Greek :
PROSTROPHE : "a turning forward / towards the front"
AGASTROPHE / AGASTOSTROPHE : "a turning to the good/noble/moral"
ARISTROPHE / ARISTOSTROPHE : "a turning towards the best/noblest/most moral"
HYPERSTROPHE : "a going above/beyond/over"
PROSOSTROPHE : "a turning to the good/noble"
EUSTROPHE : "a turning to the good"
