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V126预印本

Abstract

To address the core limitations of mainstream consciousness theories—deficient temporal dynamics and failure to respond to Chalmers’ hard problem of consciousness and qualia puzzles from first principles—this paper constructs a unified framework for the hierarchical emergence of consciousness via first-principles derivation, with three axioms as the exclusive starting point and temporal dynamics as the entry. It proposes the core unifying concept of the information capacity frame, proves the Information-Level Unidirectional Constraint Law, and derives the bidirectional critical phase transition mechanism. It reveals that five core mechanisms are isomorphic from the same origin: temporal unidirectionality, hierarchical information constraint, bidirectional critical effect, resource priority rule, and forgetting mechanism. It also deduces the dual-configuration functional architecture and the five-level consciousness hierarchy. From an engineering coding perspective, it systematically resolves the hard problem, elaborates the generative logic and hierarchical properties of qualia, and provides unified consciousness criteria and AGI safety boundaries for carbon-based and silicon-based systems. All conclusions are strictly derived from axioms, independent of specific neural structures, with cross-substrate universality.主流意识理论时序动力学缺失，未能从第一性原理层面回应查尔默斯意识难问题与感受质谜题的核心局限，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的统一框架。提出信息容量框核心统摄概念，证明信息层级单向约束定律，推导双向临界相变机制，揭示时间单向性、层级单向约束、双向临界效应、资源优先级法则、遗忘机制五者同源同构，推导出双组态功能架构与五级意识层级谱系。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，给出碳基与硅基统一的意识层级判定标准与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。
