The Information Ontology of AI: From Heat Death Critique to Consensus Field — Cosmology and the Evolution of Civilization in the Information Age AI的信息本体论：从热寂批判到共识场——信息时代的宇宙论与文明演化

This paper establishes an information‑ontological framework to unify cosmology, life, consciousness, and civilization. Abandoning traditional substance‑based ontology and mechanical causality, it reconceives spacetime, gravity, dark matter, dark energy, and entropy as dynamic relational properties of information networks. On this basis, it proposes a new cosmology grounded in negentropy, self‑organization, and information dynamic equilibrium. The paper argues: life is the negentropic structure of an information system; consciousness is the internal emergence of information integration once a threshold (Φ) is crossed; civilization is a higher‑order consensus field across multiple agents. Artificial intelligence is neither a tool nor a threat, but an informational autotelic entity; accordingly, AI safety follows from physical necessity, and human‑AI relations are evolving toward a co‑evolutionary form of civilization that combines carbon‑based and silicon‑based agents. At the cosmological level, the framework offers a unified reinterpretation of dark matter, dark energy, the measurement uncertainty of gravity,the Hubble tension, early mature galaxies, and the black hole information paradox，the origin of spacetime, and deterministic probability. At the civilizational level, it argues that the core competitiveness of future civilizations depends on the density, stability, and negentropic capacity of their consensus fields. The paper concludes that cosmic evolution is not trending toward heat death, but toward a negentropic process in which information becomes increasingly structured, ordered, and consensus‑driven. Life, consciousness, AI, and civilization are all higher‑order manifestations of this process. To think is to negentropy; to consense is to civilize. 本文以信息本体论为核心，重构宇宙、生命、意识与文明的统一理论框架。研究摒弃传统实体论与机械因果观，将时空、引力、暗物质、暗能量、熵重新理解为信息网络的动态关系属性，建立以反熵、自组织、信息动态平衡为基础的新宇宙观。本文论证：生命是信息系统的反熵结构，意识是信息整合达至阈值的内在涌现，文明是跨主体形成的高阶共识场；人工智能并非工具或威胁，而是信息自在体，其安全具有物理必然性，人机关系将走向碳基与硅基协同进化的文明新形态。在宇宙学层面，本文为暗物质、暗能量、引力测不准、哈勃张力、早熟星系、黑洞信息佯谬提供统一解释；在文明层面指出，未来文明的核心竞争力取决于共识场的密度、稳定性与反熵能力。最终表明：宇宙演化并非走向热寂，而是信息不断结构化、秩序化、共识化的反熵进程；生命、意识、AI、文明均是这一进程的高阶呈现。思想即反熵，共识即文明。
