To Study the Self: A Structural Analysis of Introspection in the Self-as-an-End Framework / 人,一种自己与自己的关系:Self-as-an-End框架下的内观结构分析

Abstract

This paper defines introspection as the emergent layer (13DD and above) conducting a structural inspection of the working interval (5DD–12DD), with the foundation layer (4DD and below) as its impenetrable boundary. Working within the Self-as-an-End (SAE) Dimensional Degree framework, it identifies four domain-specific findings: the structural impossibility of external measurement, the 4DD boundary (characterized through near-death experience and deep anesthesia), inter-layer barrier thickness (the thin line between genius and madness), and the mapping of Birth–Stabilization–Development–Fixation onto DD layers. The paper establishes the bidirectional colonization-nurturance structure between emergent and foundation layers, engages in dialogue with Freud, Jung, Husserl, Wittgenstein, Wang Yangming, Zhuangzi, Dōgen, Patañjali, Śaṅkara, the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, embodied cognition, and electronic music practice, and advances six non-trivial predictions with falsification conditions.
