Generalized Harm-Avoidance Monistic System: The Transformation Mechanism from Conscious Harm-Avoidance to Unconscious Harm-Avoidance

Generalized Harm-Avoidance Monism has proved that generalized harm-avoidance is the sole ultimate motivation for all conscious behaviors of the mainstream human group, and seeking benefit is essentially indirect harm-avoidance. On this basis, this paper systematically proposes and demonstrates the complete mechanism of the transformation from conscious harm-avoidance to unconscious harm-avoidance, revealing its status as the core underlying logic of life evolution and individual adaptation. Firstly, this paper defines the categories and dialectical relationship between the two types of harm-avoidance behaviors, and clarifies the core concepts of "Harmless Baseline" and "Preemptive Negative Drive". Then, it systematically reveals the internal mechanism of the transformation from two dimensions: neuroscience (automated coding of basal ganglia, amygdala warning system, mirror neuron system) and evolutionary biology (epigenetic modification, Lamarckian inheritance of acquired characteristics, cultural evolution). Logical verification is completed through typical cases such as dietary adaptation of Inuit, domestication of domestic animals, carbohydrate mouth rinse method of athletes, and human empathic behavior. Finally, it clearly distinguishes two types of subjective experiences, homeostatic pleasure and high-arousal pleasure, for the first time, pointing out that existing neuroscientific research has only fully explained the former, while the "overdraft" and "sense of disparity" nature of the latter constitutes an important direction for future research. This paper improves the theoretical architecture of Generalized Harm-Avoidance Monism, and provides a unified and verifiable explanatory framework for understanding the origin of human instincts, habits, culture and emotions.
