Summary

AI-generated from the abstract

A new conceptual and mathematical framework, ZF/AD, is proposed to describe how stable structures emerge in open, non-stationary, and partially unpredictable systems. Instead of treating structure and dynamics as separate, the model postulates their necessary entanglement as a condition for reality. This non-separability is formalized through a viability condition V, used as an operational criterion for emergence, persistence, and dissolution. Stability is described as a dynamic equilibrium of enduring regimes, not a fixed state. The framework provides a formal basis for studying computational consciousness as an emergent property and for applications in artificial intelligence and complex systems.

Abstract

This work introduces a conceptual and mathematical framework, ZF/AD, which addresses a major challenge in contemporary science: the description of the emergence of stable structures within open, non-stationary, and partially unpredictable systems. The originality of the ZF/AD model lies in a shift in perspective: instead of treating structure and dynamics as separable, it postulates their necessary entanglement as a condition for the existence of reality. This non-separability is formalized through a viability condition V, used as an operational criterion for emergence, persistence, and dissolution. The ZF/AD framework describes a structural and dynamic co-evolution within an adaptive elastic space: structural constraints are modulated under the influence of becoming, and dynamics are continuously regulated by emergent constraints. Stability does not appear as a fixed state, but as a dynamic equilibrium of enduring regimes. The repository includes the manuscript (axioms, definitions, entanglement operator, definition of V), a reproducible simplified numerical model with Python code, simulation data, and automatically generated figures. This framework provides a formal and verifiable basis for studying computational consciousness as an emergent property and for exploring its applications in artificial intelligence, computational cognition, and complex systems.
