Micro--Macro Role Inversion in Viability-Based Dynamics: A Structural Analysis Within Yang Jihoon Dynamics
Abstract
This paper provides a structural analysis of the relationship between micro- andmacro-level descriptions within Yang Jihoon Dynamics (YJD), a generalframework for viability-preserving dynamical systems under sustainedperturbation and irreversible constraints. Rather than treating “micro” and “macro” as fixed ontological categories, thiswork argues that, within YJD, they function as relational roles assigned by thechosen observational frame. A system may operate as micro-level when itsinternal processes accumulate load within a viability region, and as macro-levelwhen its state constrains the viability of other systems. These roles are shownto be context-dependent and capable of inversion. The paper focuses on the dual description of collapse in YJD: Exit time (τ\tauτ), which characterizes collapse as an outcome-levelevent, and Cumulative load (L(t)L(t)L(t)), which characterizes collapse as a process-levelaccumulation. It is shown that these two descriptions are complementary but must be keptlogically separate to avoid circular causality. From this separation, themicro–macro distinction naturally emerges as a matter of role rather than scale.The paper further demonstrates that micro–macro role inversion isstructurally inevitable near points of saturation, resonance, or crisis, andthat failure to recognize such inversion often precedes system collapse. Distance and gating are formalized as operational control variables thatregulate effective coupling between systems. Within this framework, separation,delay, and decoupling are interpreted not as disengagement or failure, but asstructurally necessary strategies for preserving viability during roletransitions. This work introduces no new axioms, equations, physical entities, or empiricalpredictions. Its contribution is purely structural and interpretive. By makingexplicit the role-based nature of micro–macro distinctions, the paper clarifiesthe internal logic of Yang Jihoon Dynamics and provides a unifying interpretivelayer for its applications across domains, including prior cosmic, educational,and organizational analyses. The paper should be read as a theoretical consistency and consolidationstudy, not as an empirical or predictive model.
