Survival of the Fittest in Survival Algorithms: A Cross-Civilizational Dynamic Explanation for the Demise of Human Sacrifice Under the Mechanism of Causal Deterrence/生存算法的优胜劣汰：因果震慑机制下人祭消亡的跨文明动力学解释

This paper argues that the demise of human sacrifice across global civilizations is not attributable to humanity or moral progress, but a systemic correction and upgrade of civilizational survival algorithms driven by the "De- terrence Mechanism of Causality". Based on a series of theoretical frameworks such as The Prime Mover: The Generation, Evolution and Revision of Causal Deterrence and Civilizational Order, combined with empirical findings from archaeology and history, this study conducts a cross-civilizational dynamic analysis of human sac- rifice systems in the Shang Dynasty, Maya, Aztec, Ancient Rome and other civilizations. The research shows that the inherent structural flaws of human sacrifice (triggering external wars or internal revolutions) induce high-intensity negative feedback, resulting in the comprehensive failure of the four core variables"feedback intensity, certainty, delay, and perception"of its supporting system. This ultimately forces different civiliza- tions to independently converge toward alternative rules with lower internal friction: the natural emergence of ethical revision. By dissecting the operational process of the threefold mechanism of feedback percep- tion construction across various civilizations, this study confirms that ethics are essentially a rational solution formed by civilizations to avoid self-destruction; furthermore, the narrative strategy of the ruling class to maintain violent systems by masking truth with lies temporarily distorts feedback certainty and ultimately accelerates the collapse of the variable system. This framework not only provides a unified paradigm for un- derstanding history, but also points to an urgent path for contemporary civilizations to proactively implement "ethical revision" and "algorithm upgrade" when confronting "survival-level negative feedback" such as climate crises and technological ethics.(For the English version, please click the DOI link below.) 本文提出，人祭在全球多文明中的相继消亡，非关人性觉醒或道德进步，实为文明生存算法在 “因果震慑机制” 作用下的一次系统性纠错与升级。基于《第一动力：因果震慑与文明秩序的生成、演化及修正》等系列理论框架，结合考古学、历史学实证成果，对商代、玛雅、阿兹特克、古罗马等文明的人祭制度展开跨文明动力学分析。研究表明，人祭固有的结构性缺陷（引发外部战争或内部革命）触发极高强度负反馈，导致其支撑系统的 “反馈强度、确定性、延迟、感知” 四大变量全面失灵 ，最终迫使不同文明独立收敛到内耗更低的替代性规则 —— 伦理修正的自然涌现 。通过拆解 “反馈感知三重构建机制” 在各文明中的运作过程，本文证实：伦理的本质是文明为规避自我毁灭而形成的理性解 ；而统治阶级以 “谎言包装真相” 维系暴力制度的叙事策略，会短暂扭曲反馈确定性，最终加速变量系统的崩溃，这一框架不仅为理解历史提供统一范式，更指明当代文明面临气候危机、科技伦理等 “生存级负反馈” 时，主动进行 “伦理修正” 与 “算法升级” 的紧迫路径。
