Research on the Four-Layer Nested Evolution Model of Consciousness Entropy Based on Dissipative Structure
Based on Prigogine’s dissipative structure theory, combined with the laws of mental cognition, group communication, social evolution and civilizational iteration, this paper constructs a four-layer nested evolution model of consciousness entropy covering individual-group-society-civilization. Taking the six-dimensional fundamental energy vector as the input carrier, this paper establishes exclusive entropy change differential equations for each layer, and defines three core variables of systems at different layers: intrinsic entropy generation, energy-coupled entropy change, and informational cognitive entropy change. The study clarifies the nested progressive relationship among the four layers, unique informational increments of each layer and cross-layer feedback regulation mechanisms, and reveals the underlying entropy logic behind individual mental disorders, group emotional imbalance, fluctuations in social order and the rise and fall of civilizations. This model achieves quantitative unification between micro individual mentality and macro civilizational evolution, providing a new mathematical theoretical framework for the order evolution and state regulation of humanistic social systems.
