GRAIN: 9. THE CONVERGENCE CATALOGUE
The Claim
Ten convergence nodes map identical patterns across independent domains.
Definitions
- Convergence node: pattern in multiple domains.
- Domain independence: derivations share no lineage.
- Claim tier: T0=proof;T1=strongempirical;T2=moderate;T3=speculative;T4=boundary;T5=null.
- Convergence strength: independence times tier weight.
- Load-bearing node: strength>=6 and tier<=T1.
- Falsifier: condition killing a claim.
- Pareto: optimal allocation.
- Duality: descriptions match.
- Criticality: phase transition.
- Scale invariance: scale-free.
- Autopoiesis: self-production.
- Emergence: properties arise at higher scales.
- Teleology: purpose-directed causation.
- Fine-tuning: constants permit life narrowly.
- FEP: minimizes surprise.
- Landauer bound: minimum erasure energy.
- Ostrom's principles: common-pool rules.
- Fundamental constants: underived parameters.
The Logic
- IF pattern P appears in independent domains, THEN N exists.
- IF tier=T0 and independence=1.0, THEN strength=10.
- IF tier=T1 and independence=1.0, THEN strength=8.
- IF strength>=6 and tier<=T1, THEN node qualifies as load-bearing.
- IF entropy maps to Pareto, THEN E1=8.
- IF least action maps to Pareto, THEN E2=7.
- IF symmetry maps to duality, THEN E3=9.
- IF criticality maps to scale invariance, THEN E4=8.
- IF information maps to recursion, THEN E5=7.
- IF feedback maps to autopoiesis, THEN E6=7.
- IF selection maps to emergence, THEN E7=8.
- IF scale invariance maps to networks, THEN E8=8.
- IF branching maps to networks, THEN E9=7.
- IF symmetry-breaking maps to attractors, THEN E10=9.
- IF selection contradicts teleology, THEN D1 exists.
- IF FEP minimizes surprise and criticality maximizes sensitivity, THEN D2 exists.
- IF systems extremize action and emergence produces new minima, THEN D3 exists.
- IF symmetry implies necessary laws and fine-tuning implies contingent constants, THEN D4 exists.
- IF engineering produces exponential scaling and scale invariance requires power-law, THEN D5 exists.
The Falsifier
- Derivation independence collapses for any load-bearing node.
- A single framework subsumes all nodes with no remainder.
- Ostrom's principles fail in controlled studies.
- Information erasure falls below the Landauer bound.
- All fundamental constants derive from first principles.
The Uncertainty
- FEP and criticality: contradiction or subsumption?
- Emergence and least action: reducible or irreducible?
- Physical laws: necessary or contingent?
- Branching: fractal or optimal?
- Selection: exhaustive of apparent purpose?
