Discovery of the Law of Autocatalytic Inevitability: A New Natural Law Governing Network Self-Organization

This updated version clarifies the structural causality behind the discovery.

This record contains the manuscript "Discovery of the Law of Autocatalytic Inevitability: A New Natural Law Governing Network Self-Organization" along with a supplementary FAQ document clarifying key aspects, implications, and practical relevance of this discovery.

Rather than presenting the Law of Autocatalytic Inevitability as a self-standing principle, this version emphasizes that the law emerges as a mathematical consequence of a specific method of decentralized empathic self-organization implemented via the Social Organizer - a neutral recording tool that formalizes real empathic connections.

The paper mathematically proves that when three architectural conditions are met - harm prevention (H(a,v) = 0), connection inheritance (E(v_new) = E(v_parent) ∪ {v_parent}), and Dunbar-limited empathic foundation - global cooperation does not need to be negotiated but emerges deterministically, described by the law (N(l) = k^l).

The discovery introduces a paradigm shift from trust-based cooperation to structural inevitability through empathic self-organization, where cooperation becomes a mathematical consequence rather than a behavioral variable.
