Trace Source Emergent Information Dynamics Theory: A Non–Mind-First Account of Variable Complementary Determinism
Abstract
This work proposes that deterministic systems can still generate structured novelty given that Trace, treated as hx/Actuality/Prospective state-order (trace order), yields Variable Complementary Determinism (VCD) through which reactive fields and reactants propagate into functions and reactions, informational dynamics, behavior (choice and creation), and, without mind as a first-source assumption, coordinative awareness/intelligence as scalar, legible threshold expressions.
