Abstract

Analysis of mental illness as emergent system property arising from N-C-E regime dynamics. Establishes the Asymmetric Propagation Law: pathology propagates automatically across Nature-Consciousness-Environment regimes while health requires sustained energy input. This work shifts pathogenesis analysis from individual-level deficits to upstream systemic factors, demonstrating how institutional and environmental constraints generate mental health outcomes through thermodynamic necessity. Provides theoretical foundation for population-level mental health interventions targeting structural factors.
