Foundational Document: The 10 Theses of Evolutionary Psycho-Metaphysics (EPM) The Instinct Toward Divinity as an Emergent Teleological Vector

Can the fundamental drive for human self-overcoming—the Nietzschean Will to Power—be formally integrated with Karl Friston's Free Energy Principle (FEP) within a unified framework of systems science? This foundational document introduces Evolutionary Psycho-Metaphysics (EPM), a revolutionary theoretical paradigm that posits human behavior, technology, and culture are driven by a triadic motivational system. Distinct from mere survival and reproduction, EPM defines the Instinct Toward Divinity (ID) as the third, primary, and irreducible evolutionary drive. This instinct is an immanent, structural impulse oriented toward three recurrent, species-wide attractors of complexity: Omnipotence (unlimited efficacy), Omniscience (total comprehension), and Immortality (continuity beyond finitude). The core thesis is that the failure to fully realize these aspirations at the individual level forces the collective aggregation of consciousness. This process establishes the Emergent Collective Mind (ECM) and, ultimately, the Anthropological Teleology of the species, directing humanity toward a defined stage of integrated cognition. EPM provides a testable framework by integrating concepts from Systems Theory, Philosophy of Mind, and Cognitive Science. We demonstrate why this third instinct is non-reducible to adaptive utility or cultural residue, presenting a radical new interpretation of technological acceleration (AI and externalization of the ID) not as a compensatory mechanism, but as the operative vector of immanent transcendence. This framework moves the debate beyond techno-utopian or purely genetic determinism, establishing a psycho-metaphysical foundation for understanding the ultimate trajectory of human complexity.
