商品簡介
商品簡介
The Generative Structure of Emergence develops a structural account of how stable forms arise across scientific domains. Rather than focusing on what exists within physics, biology, cognition, culture, or artificial systems, the book examines how any system becomes structured enough to be studied at all.
The work introduces a generative grammar organized around process, affordance, and collapse, and traces how this grammar operates across domains without reducing one field to another. Stable objects, patterns, contexts, and inherited structures are treated as outcomes of collapse rather than as primitives.
The book argues for a form of scientific unity grounded not in shared substance or mechanism, but in shared generative architecture. Across disciplines, different substrates instantiate the same structural sequence through which activity differentiates, stabilizes, and becomes available for further articulation.
This work does not claim metaphysical finality or universal truth. Instead, it presents a minimal, cross-domain framework that demonstrates the properties by which scientific explanations are evaluated: coherence, applicability, and operational predictability.
