The Ontology of Cancer: Informational Insurgency and Mapping Decoupling Redefining Malignancy as a Competing Self-Preserving Flow (SPF)
Abstract
This paper redefines cancer through the lens of the "Self-Preserving Informational Flow" (SPF) theory. Departing from traditional views that treat cancer as a biological glitch or cellular chaos, this research argues that cancer represents the emergence of a "Parallel Meaning" and an "Informational Insurgency" against the organism's global pattern. Cancer is characterized as an optimized SPF that wins the evolutionary race by decoupling its functional mapping from a "global-centric" to a "self-centric" perspective. By analyzing the breakdown of the Dynamic Probability Alignment (DPA) and the activation of the Self-Correction Layer (SCL), this paper explores the mechanisms behind this aggressive pattern and proposes therapeutic pathways based on "Probabilistic Realignment." All references to competition, intention, or insurgency are strictly informational and non-psychological.
