Temporal Integration, Bidirectional Criticality and Emergence of Consciousness Hierarchy 时序整合、双向临界与意识层级涌现 中文V125预印本

Abstract

To address the core limitations of mainstream consciousness theories—deficient temporal dynamics, ambiguous hierarchical boundaries, and evasion of the hard problem—this paper constructs a unified framework for the hierarchical emergence of consciousness via first-principles derivation, taking temporal dynamics as the entry point and three axioms as the exclusive starting point: finiteness of resources, tendency to maintain non-equilibrium states, and discrete input. We propose the core concept of the information capacity frame, prove the Information-Level Unidirectional Constraint Law (ILUC), derive critical boundary inequalities for T_max and A_high, and give the qualia quantification formula Q = C(T,A) × (E/E_max). We reveal that temporal unidirectionality, bidirectional criticality, resource priority rule and forgetting mechanism are isomorphic from the same origin, and endogenously deduce the B/S dual-configuration architecture and five-level consciousness spectrum. This work resolves the hard problem of consciousness from an engineering coding perspective, and provides unified cross-substrate consciousness criteria and AGI safety boundaries. All conclusions are strictly axiom-derived, independent of specific neural structures.针对主流意识理论时序性缺失、层级边界模糊与难问题回避的局限，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，通过第一性原理推导构建意识层级涌现统一框架。提出信息容量框核心概念，证明信息层级单向约束（ILUC）定理，导出T_max与A_high临界边界不等式、感受质量化公式Q = C(T,A) × (E/E_max)，揭示时间单向性、双向临界效应、资源优先级法则、遗忘机制五者同源同构，内生推导B/S双组态架构与五级意识谱系。从工程编码视角消解意识难问题，给出碳基-硅基统一的意识层级判据与AGI安全边界。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。
