The Genesis of Reality and Cognitive Ontogenesis: A Unified Dynamic Framework for Perception, Time, Embodiment, and Maturity

Description

Abstract

This paper presents the definitive formulation of the Unified Dynamic Mind Model (UDMM), transcending fragmented views of cognition to propose an integrated bio-physical theory of "Reality Genesis." We argue that the mind is neither a passive mirror reflecting the world nor merely an inferential engine aimed at minimizing prediction error (as posited by the Free Energy Principle, FEP). Instead, it is a Spatiotemporal Simulation Engine whose primary function is to maintain existential coherence through three interconnected axes:

Spatial Generation: Where Working Memory acts as a topological platform for constructing "Virtual Anchors" to compensate for sensory deafferentation.

Temporal Attraction: Where behavior is pulled toward "Future Attractors" within an ontogenetically expanding cone of possibility, mapping Piaget’s developmental stages onto phase-space dynamics.

Social Resonance: Where identity emerges through synchronization with "Shared Manifolds" in a predictive economic exchange.

The paper introduces a unified equation linking the Bodily Anchoring Coefficient (BAC) and Gravitational Dynamics, proposing a revolutionary concept of "Model Age" (t_{model}) as a successor to chronological age. This framework provides a new diagnostic taxonomy for psychopathology as "topological collapses" in the geometry of existence.
