Description
Youjue Physiology: An Outline heralds a paradigm revolution in mind and life sciences. Confronting the impasse of "consciousness" studies—where data abounds yet theory fragments—this work returns science to its authentic object: life itself, as a living, self-constructing Youjue System sustained by the Sensation-Behavior Cycle. Rejecting the stimulus-response model, it reveals that mind emerges not from computation but from life's fundamental drive to maintain homeostasis. The book introduces a groundbreaking Three-Dimensional Dynamic Taxonomy, mapping the mental spectrum across evolutionary strata (Vital, Social, Noetic) and three basic tensions (Defensive, Offensive, Friendly). Hunger, belonging, curiosity, and meaning are unified as manifestations of Expectancy-Sensation Mismatch, the engine driving all learning and adaptation. Most radically, it uncovers Resonance-Evaluation-Consolidation—a universal logic governing complexity across scales. From neuronal clusters formed via Neural Darwinism, to social cohesion through shared patterns, to cultural propagation of Thought Memes, all follow the same principle: pattern resonance via Reentry, followed by selective stabilization through positive value evaluation. Rooted in Whytte, Sechenov, Edelman, and Vyazemsky, the book reconstructs Need, Emotion, Consciousness, Self, and Will in pure "Youjue" language. It culminates in the Youjue Person—a lucid agent who self-directs through "I feel...," transforming life from a fragmented collection of data into a coherent, agentic, and warm existence. More than theory, this is a worldview transformation. It enables science to embrace complete life, offering a framework for understanding mind, self, and social cognition—from the individual Youjue Person to the Youjue Ecology of civilizational futures. "A magnificent integration that returns mind science to life itself."
