Description
Closing paper of the SAE Epistemology Series. Develops the fourth a priori condition: must-be-questioned. Argues that the direction wall cannot be broken from within and that the other's questioning is the only structural unlock source. Distinguishes self-questioning (special case, creates cracks) from being questioned by the other (normal case, penetrates walls). Demonstrates that questioning's armor-piercing power depends on externality, not the questioner's DD level — a child's "why" (13DD) suffices. Recovers the series preface's four sentences (12DD-15DD mapping), completes the five-level decomposition of Chalmers's Hard Problem using "red" as example, and independently derives Kant's "purposiveness without purpose" through epistemological rather than aesthetic reasoning. Final thesis: remainder never dies, questioning never stops, development never ends — not optimism but structure. Bilingual: Chinese original + independent English rewrite. SAE Epistemology Series Paper 4 of 4.
