文学生命体动力学：一个基于历史记忆与生态调用的统一创作理论

This paper proposes an entirely new theoretical framework for literary creation and criticism—Literary Organism Dynamics. This framework systematically introduces Zhao Futao’s Axiom of Material Memory Units into the field of literature, with the core principle that historical memory is the sole intrinsic primary term. It argues that the state of any literary creation system (from individual authors to historical schools) can be fully described by a five-dimensional Five-Element vector, whose evolution is endogenously driven by the eternally unchanging historical memory kernel ℋ(t). All external factors, including ecological constraints, author status, reader preferences, and social institutions, act as Five-Element disturbance terms, which only alter the activation weights and invocation patterns of historical memory slices without changing the memory itself.We establish a core axiom (the Axiom of Textual Historical Intrinsicality and Ecological Modulation), a formal mathematical model (a literary stochastic differential equation based on the Chen Equation), and an operable protocol (diagnosis and deduction procedures). Using representative case studies—Li Shangyin’s poetry, the evolution from Tang poetry to Song ci, Gorky’s The Song of the Stormy Petrel, Pu Songling’s Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio, the modernization of Peking Opera, and the Vernacular Movement—this paper systematically demonstrates the framework’s robust capacity to explain diverse literary phenomena, including stylistic fine-tuning, attractor drift, expressive form reshaping, and invocation paradigm revolution.This theory provides a unified foundation with both philosophical depth and engineering feasibility for understanding the essence of literary creation, predicting stylistic changes, interpreting stylistic revolutions, and developing AI creation models with historical continuity.
