Abstract

The deepest danger of the formalized maze is this: one believes one is seeking truth while moving on a stage already built by false appearance.The “right” part manufactures trust; the “wrong” part completes usurpation. Coxeter is “right” in stable law. GEB is “right” in formal self-reference. Dennett is “right” in functional chains. Chalmers is “right” in the experience gap. IIT is “right” in computable metrics. GNWT is “right” in global accessibility. Consciousness measurement is “right” in measuring projection traces. Panpsychism is “right” in refusing crude dissolution of consciousness. The hierarchy problem is “right” in the real existence of energy-scale difference. The danger of classic theories lies in using what is locally right to manufacture what is fundamentally wrong. Their error occurs at one same point: elevating a locally valid readout into the final explanation of total reality. The reality-illusion caused by classic theories is usually not a crude error, but stratal overreach built on local correctness.Local correctness provides the credible entrance; formalization provides internal coherence; academic tradition provides authority; circulation provides social standing. This is not an obvious false conclusion. It is the most persuasive local correctness inside these theories. The more refined the shadow, the more easily it is mistaken for reality. Crude errors are easy to cut; errors built from local correctness are the hardest to cleave. The “right” part stands only inside a local effective boundary. The “wrong” part begins when a local readout usurps total reality. The confusion of being both right and wrong is this: the more refined the local correctness, the more easily it produces reality-illusion; the more coherent the projection-layer room, the more easily one mistakes it for reality itself. When the formal boundary has not closed, deviation generates itself. Formal systems are bounded; taking the boundary as the whole is deviation. Leave the shell of form; enter the closure of all operative ways. Closure beyond the boundary is source-closure. Do not chase form; do not be lost in appearance. When deviation extinguishes itself, true alignment stands. BU65 develops a unified reality-settlement framework under the B_U system by integrating three connected problems: projection-layer mega-loops, the human being as a dynamic variable, and the cleavage points of classic projection-layer theories. The paper begins from a simple but decisive distinction: language is language, symbols are symbols, formal systems are formal systems, and the real world is the real world. No amount of linguistic, symbolic, or formal closure can become the real world, a human being, consciousness, or the source-position of consciousness. Language, symbols, models, metrics, AI outputs, academic theories, and formal systems are projection-layer tools. They must return to the real world for settlement. The first part identifies a social-scale projection-layer self-referential mega-loop formed by media, AI, academia, and public circulation. Media turns cracks in the projection stratum into narratives; AI amplifies existing ledgers; academia formalizes and stabilizes concepts; the public converts them into emotional assets. This loop can generate visibility, researchability, monetizability, and social standing, but it cannot generate ontic standing or total-reality closure. Narrative density, circulation speed, and formal sophistication do not equal settlement strength. The second part locks the relation among the real world, the human being, formal systems, and practice. The human being is not a static symbolic node or a placeholder inside a formal system. The human being is a dynamic variable and a higher-order amplification window carrying bodily feedback, experiential memory, emotional perturbation, conscious indexing, action selection, and responsibility for consequences. Practice is human-environment coupling in the real world, not human-formal-system coupling. A formal system may assist practice by expressing, compressing, inferring, modeling, or locally reconstructing reality, but it cannot replace practice. Practical standing comes from boundary, path, cost, residual, feedback, action, and consequence inside the real world. The third part introduces consciousness settlement. Consciousness settlement is the process through which the consciousness window brings reality constraints, subject judgment, symbolic expression, action consequences, and feedback return into the total-reality network, thereby entering higher-order retained chains into the ledger. Human communication, organization, human-AI cooperation, human-nature practice, human-society institutions, language systems, formal systems, scientific models, and the matter-consciousness relation all require reality settlement. Expression can occur without understanding; signal can travel without meaning; consciousness can exist without shared settlement. The final part cuts open the nine most persuasive false surfaces of classic projection-layer rooms: stable law, formal self-reference, functional explanation, the experience gap, computable metrics, global accessibility, consciousness measurement, consciousness-as-basic-property, and energy-scale difference. Each carries local value and an effective boundary, but each becomes misleading when elevated into a final explanation, a mechanism of reality-generation, or an ontic admission condition. Stable law must settle. Formal self-reference must settle. Functional explanation must settle. Metrics must settle. Consciousness measurement already presupposes consciousness. Energy-scale difference is a resolution gradient, not an ontic breach. BU65’s central judgment is that local validity is insufficient; settlement is required. Reality is the settlement surface. Formal closure without reality settlement becomes projection-layer self-excitation. Knowing more is weaker than settling cleanly.
