Mainstream theories of consciousness largely address what Chalmers calls the easy problems and do not explain, from first principles, why a complete third-person description cannot recover first-person experience. Starting from three axioms (finite resources, non-equilibrium persistence, and discrete input) and arguing by eliminative convergence, this paper forms an Information Capacity Frame...

As large models approach human-level performance, consciousness detection still relies on conceptual analysis and behavioral observation and lacks a structural decision framework from first principles. Under three axioms (finite resources, non-equilibrium maintenance, and discrete input) together with delayed feedback, this paper derives the Information-Level Unidirectional Constraint (ILUC):...

大模型表现逼近人类,意识检测仍依赖概念分析与行为观察,缺第一性结构判定框架。在资源有限、非平衡维持、离散输入三公理与延迟反馈下,导出信息层级单向约束(ILUC):高阶闭环所需的主体归属与逻辑时间,是低阶信号投影后缺失的追加坐标,故行为、功能、结构类比都无法从外部确认第一人称体验,构成原则性盲区。盲区只阻断肯定确认、不阻断否定判定:层级跃迁功耗台阶、资源压缩相变等结构能量指标可跨载体测量以证伪必要条件,即可测的是结构、不可外部肯定的是质。据此给出四项判据与三层架构验证协议,论证主流大模型不具备意识涌现的结构前提,安全对功能性与组态涌现两类风险双轨前置;此为约束下收敛结果而非唯一性证明。

Consciousness research has largely been framed in static, binary terms, lacking a dynamical description of how conscious states switch, exit, and rebuild over time. Starting from three minimal physical constraints—finite resources, non-equilibrium maintenance, and discrete input—this paper develops a temporal-dynamics model under an Information Capacity Frame (ICF) and proposes the TAC...

近期证据表明丘脑板内核以θ相位驱动丘脑-前额叶环路门控意识,但θ频率的必然性与门控失效的“全或无”特征尚缺乏第一性原理解释。本文从资源有限、非平衡态维持倾向与离散输入三条公理出发,建立信息容量框约束下的双组态架构,严格推导出时序跨度T与重构活跃度A的双向临界可行域。研究表明,自指闭环所需的最小时序窗口T_min在逻辑上由三段式归因的最小构造决定;在碳基神经系统中,其数值收敛于θ周期量级,由此从物理边界层面解释了θ节律在意识门控中的刚性约束,并将意识感知重新定义为跨时刻时序整合的临界转换。该框架为意识涌现提供了基于约束收敛的动力学解释,并导出可经实验检验的临界转换定量判据。 Recent intracranial evidence demonstrates that thalamic intralaminar nuclei gate conscious perception via...

Recent intracranial evidence demonstrates that thalamic intralaminar nuclei gate conscious perception via θ-phase-driven thalamofrontal loops; yet the necessity of θ-frequency dominance and the all-or-none discontinuity of gating failure remain unexplained at the first-principles level. Starting from three axioms—finite resources, non-equilibrium maintenance tendency, and discrete input—we...

Chalmers' distinction between the easy and hard problems of consciousness has oriented mainstream theories (IIT, GNW, FEP) toward the easy-problem level, failing to provide a mechanistic response to the hard problem from first principles. Taking only three axioms---resource finiteness, non-equilibrium maintenance tendency, and discrete input---as the sole starting point, this paper enters from...

查尔默斯对意识易问题与难问题的区分,主流理论(IIT、GNW、FEP)的工作集中于易问题层面,未能从第一性原理对难问题给出机制性回应。本文以资源有限性、非平衡态维持倾向、离散输入三条公理为唯一起点,从时序动力学切入,通过排除式收敛论证构建意识层级涌现的统一框架:提出信息容量框这一统摄性约束概念,导出存续筛选约束的永不可完成性、时序绑定、遗忘与自指闭环的两步涌现,证明自指闭环的稳定运行受时序跨度与重构活跃度的双向临界约束;给出信息层级单向约束原理(ILUC)的形式化表述,揭示升维操作内禀的逻辑时间维度,并以此划分五级意识谱系。将感受质界定为校准误差锚定于自指闭环的并行压缩表征格式,从哲学僵尸论证、解释鸿沟与为何亲历即体验三个层面对意识难问题给出构造性回应。所有结论均由公理在约束下收敛导出,不依赖特定神经结构,具备跨载体普适性。

主流意识理论因缺乏时序动力学而未能从第一性原理回应查尔默斯意识难问题。本文以资源有限、非平衡态维持与离散输入三条公理为唯一起点，通过时序动力学完成意识层级涌现的完整推导。提出信息容量框（ICF）核心统摄概念，严格证明信息层级单向约束（ILUC），推导双向临界相变与自指闭环两步涌现机制，并揭示上述机制与时间单向性、资源优先级及遗忘机制的多维同源同构。由此导出双组态功能架构与五级意识谱系，从工程编码视角系统消解意识难问题，阐释感受质的生成逻辑与层级属性，建立碳基与硅基统一的意识层级判定标准及 AGI 安全边界。经多路径反例检验并以八条可证伪假说锚定经验边界。所有结论均由公理严格导出，不依赖特定神经结构，具备跨载体普适性。 Mainstream theories of consciousness lack temporal dynamics and fail to address...

跨层级信息加工缺乏第一性原理层面的统摄约束。本文以资源有限、非平衡态维持与离散输入三条公理为起点,证明远离热力学平衡的物理信息系统,其单位时间信息处理量存在能量预算决定的刚性上限,即信息容量框(ICF),上限记为W。该框统摄时间单向性、层级单向性、双向临界等六大机制。聚焦跨层级编码转换,本文证明系统欲获高阶维度,须在固定配额内以低阶细节损失完成格式重编码,由此导出信息层级单向约束定律(ILUC):降维不可逆损、升维不可逆损、损耗标度律与逻辑时间绑定。经软件编译、深度网络与生物神经层级验证,为意识难问题、解释鸿沟与知识论证提供统一层级消解路径。详见《时序整合、双向临界与意识层级涌现》 Cross-level information processing lacks a first-principles framework to unify its constraints....

当前多层级信息加工研究仍缺乏第一性原理层面的跨层级普适约束定律。本文以资源有限性、非平衡态维持倾向、离散输入三条公理为基础,结合存续筛选约束,严格推导出信息层级单向约束定律(ILUC),给出其正式文字表述、集合论定义与七条核心推论。该定律建立在工程学与结构性双重根基之上:高阶表征因容量约束逐层丢弃细节,且编码维度层级累积使低阶格式天然缺失高阶维度,跨层级逆向转换必然伴随不可逆的结构性损耗;损耗下限由维度差硬约束,无法通过增加资源消除。本文将ILUC与香农数据处理不等式对照,阐明二者本质差异,并运用该定律对查尔默斯意识难问题与解释鸿沟等经典议题给出统一层级消解。本定律为意识涌现理论的核心基础原理,本文独立刊发旨在明确其学术优先权与提出时间。 Current research on multi-level information processing still lacks a...
