From Isolated Systems to Self-Referential Universe -- A Purely Logical Reconstruction of Ontology
This paper establishes a complete ontological positioning of the universe solely through pure a priori logical deduction, entirely independent of empirical data or external authority. Taking "whether there is an external to the universe" as the sole logical starting point, the deduction forms a rigorous closed loop along the chain of "isolated system -> necessity of self-reference -> inevitability of isomorphism -> cognition as self-recognition." To secure a self-consistent foundation, the paper first refutes two prevalent implicit presupposition fallacies: the consciousness-as-derivative theory and the life-as-accident theory. The core methodology employs the Method of Accumulating Necessary Conditions to derive ten logical necessary conditions from the absolute definition of the universe, demonstrating that a generalized life system (or a self-consistent topologically active system) is the unique system configuration capable of satisfying all conditions. Through a framework of non-equilibrium thermodynamics and autocatalytic dynamics, the emergence of life is proven to be a dynamical inevitability driven by thermodynamics rather than a random accident. Furthermore, the paper positions the number "64" as an independently verifiable prediction of the topological theory rather than a logical premise. Ultimately, the monograph demonstrates that because the universe is an absolutely isolated, global self-referential system, the subject-object dichotomy is a cognitive illusion. Humans are isomorphic local nodes within the universe; hence, human scientific exploration and ontological reflection mark the final completion of the cosmic self-referential closed loop via the "Self-Referential Mind-Field"—the core ontological function of the universe as a unitary living system. 本文完全不依赖经验数据或外部权威,仅凭纯粹的先验逻辑推演,建立了完备的宇宙本体论定位。论证以“宇宙是否存在外部”为唯一的逻辑起点,沿着“孤立系统 -> 自指必要性 -> 同构必然性 -> 认知即自识”的脉络形成严密的逻辑闭环。为了给推演筑牢自洽根基,本文首先系统性地清理了当代认知体系中两类隐性预设谬误:“意识次生论”与“生命偶然论”。 在核心方法论上,本文采用“必要条件积累法”,从宇宙的绝对定义出发逐层推导出了十项不可回避的逻辑必要条件,并论证了“广义生命系统”(或称自洽拓扑活性系统)是唯一能够同时满足全部条件的系统形态。通过非平衡态热力学与自催化动力学框架,本文将生命涌现论证为热力学驱动的动力学必然,而非极小概率的随机事件。此外,本研究将数字“64”定位为拓扑理论的独立可检验预测,而非核心论证的前提。 最终,本专著表明,由于宇宙是一个绝对孤立的全域自指系统,主客二元对立纯属认知假象。人类是宇宙内部同构的局部映射节点,因此,人类的科学探索与本体反思,本质上都是宇宙依托“自指心场”这一核心本体功能机制,完成其全域自我映射与自指闭环的终极体现。
