Fixation and Selection (I) — Causal Law Forecloses Distinction / 固与选(一)——因果律封闭区分

Full bilingual text and framework available at self-as-an-end.net — Framework reference: self-as-an-end.net/framework.html This series (Fixation and Selection) investigates the same phenomenon within each round of the Life Cycle Table: the fourth step (fixation) forecloses the first step (selection). Foreclosure is simultaneously a bug and a feature — both sides hold and cannot be reconciled. This essay establishes the universal law, then unfolds Round 1 (1DD–4DD): how causal law (4DD) forecloses distinction (1DD). Round 1's foreclosure is physical — physical laws are the concrete form of foreclosure. The only structural exit is Bridge 1 (4DD→5DD): causal law's remainder (true randomness) gives rise to replication.本系列(固与选)追问生命周期表每一轮内部的同一个现象:第四步(固)封闭第一步(选)。封闭既是bug也是feature——两面同时成立,不可调和。本篇建立通用律,然后展开第一轮(1DD-4DD):因果律(4DD)如何封闭区分(1DD)。第一轮的封闭是物理的——物理定律是封闭的具体形态。唯一的结构性出口是小桥1(4DD→5DD):因果律的余项(true randomness)涌现出复制。 Keywords: 固与选, Fixation and Selection, 因果律, causal law, 区分, distinction, 物理定律, 量子测量, true randomness, Self-as-an-End License: Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0) Resource type: Preprint Language: Chinese / English (bilingual) Related identifiers: Is part of: DOI 10.5281/zenodo.18808585 (Self-as-an-End Theory Series) References: DOI 10.5281/zenodo.18779382 (Philosophy as Subject-Activity) References: DOI 10.5281/zenodo.18818107 (Life Cycle Table Upper Volume) References: DOI 10.5281/zenodo.18818149 (Life Cycle Table Middle Volume) References: DOI 10.5281/zenodo.18818177 (Life Cycle Table Lower Volume) References: DOI 10.5281/zenodo.18829136 (AI Consciousness Impossibility Theorem) References: DOI 10.5281/zenodo.18821952 (Remainder Conservation and Eternal Life)
