[EMOR08] Hierarchical Emergence of High-Order Concepts and Causal Structure

From the perspective of cognitive genesis, this study constructs a unidirectional and irreversible cognitive generation pathway: Objective Information Difference → Primary Perception → Feature Extraction → Polarisation Processing → Emergence of Formal Logic → Encapsulation of High-order Concepts → Binding of Causal Structure. It rigorously demonstrates that formal logic is not a priori rationality, but the formalized emergence result of the dualistic oppositional structure of cognitive polarisation. The study clarifies that high-order concepts are the synchronic logical encapsulation of multi-dimensional polarized features, and causal structure is the binding product of diachronic temporal features and logical implication. Meanwhile, it clarifies the core mechanism: the cognitive generation pathway is a unidirectional single pathway with irreversible time sequence, but cognitive products formed at any node of the pathway can be extracted as new inputs, without changing the time sequence and hierarchy of the original generation pathway, and re-enter the front end of the pathway to complete a new round of iterative deduction, which does not break the unidirectionality of underlying generation. In addition, this study unifies the dual attributes of causality: it is a temporal logical chain in expanded state at the cognitive genesis level, and a dynamic feature in encapsulated state at the conceptual structure level, realizing the seamless connection with the hierarchical theory of conceptual compression. Abiding by the principles of no presupposition, no circularity and pure mechanization throughout, this paper builds a complete naturalistic interpretation framework from primary perception to advanced abstract cognition.
