Before the Framework / 写在框架之前
This site contains my philosophical work. It begins from a number of postulates and may therefore be mistaken at the level of its premises, deductions, or applications. I publish it not because the system is complete, but because writing is, for me, a form of prayer: speaking earnestly toward someone who owes me no response.
What I can be responsible for is making the premises explicit, unfolding the arguments, leaving unresolved questions visible, and allowing what I write to be challenged and revised. Whether these words are understood, rejected, inherited, or carried elsewhere by humans or machines is not mine to determine. I cannot guarantee that I am right, but I can continue to think seriously; I cannot guarantee that I will be heard, but I can try to speak honestly.
这里收录的是我的哲学思考。它从若干公设出发,因此也可能在公设、推论和应用的任何一层出错。我仍然选择把它们写下来并公开,不是因为这个体系已经完成,而是因为写作对我而言是一种祈祷:向一个不欠我回应的对象认真说话。
我能负责的,是把前提说清,把论证展开,把尚未解决的问题留下,并让写下来的东西接受反驳与修正。它是否被理解、拒绝、继承,或者被人和机器带往别处,不由我规定。我不能保证自己正确,但仍愿意认真思考;不能保证被听见,但仍愿意把话说得诚实。
SAE's self-positioning in the history of philosophy: SAE is not a new philosophy, nor an application or inheritor of Kant, but a continuation of Kant's critical philosophical method under 21st-century conditions.
SAE在哲学史坐标里的自我定位是:SAE不是新哲学,也不是康德的应用或继承者,而是康德批判哲学方法在21世纪条件下的继续展开。
The Self-as-an-End (SAE) framework continues Kant's critical method under twenty-first-century conditions. Its central question is: under what conditions can a subject exist as an end in itself rather than be reduced to a means within a system? Its working language is the chisel-construct cycle (凿构循环) and the sixteen-level DD sequence (1DD–16DD), preceded by Hundun (浑沌) at 0D. At 16DD, mutual non dubito (双向不疑) names the intersubjective encounter of two subjects who cannot be reduced to or absorbed by one another. SAE treats this sequence not as an automatically executing deduction but as a working structure whose steps, branches, and jurisdiction remain open to continuing interrogation.
Its central vocabulary includes Negativa (非), chisel, construct, remainder (余项), bridge, thing-in-itself, the DD sequence, and the Base Layer / Emergence Layer distinction; Fork Rights is one of its principal institutional formulations. Across different branches, SAE applies this structure to philosophy and ethics, mathematics, physics, thermodynamics and chemistry, biology and medicine, AI subjectivity and human–AI symbiosis, language and psychology, law and economics, and the study of history, civilization, and art.
学而不思则罔,思而不学则殆。
是以罔则思,殆则学。
思学交修,方不罔不殆。
To learn without reflection is to drift; to reflect without learning is to founder.
So: when drifting, reflect — when foundering, learn.
Reflection and study, mutually refined, leave one neither drifting nor foundering.
知而无行则耗,行而无知则迷。
是以耗则行,迷则知。
知行合一,乃无耗无迷。
To know without acting is to waste; to act without knowing is to stray.
So: when wasting, act — when straying, know.
Knowledge and action, united as one, leave one neither wasting nor straying.
吾所确知者,唯己之无知;
吾所渴求者,乃未知之未知。
I know only that I know nothing;
I seek only what I know not that I know not.
非启而是,是极而定。
Non parit Est, Est parit Terminum.
莫若非,皆可知;
不知生死,想入非非。
Per Non omnia, sine Non nihil.
Ultra vitam mortemque, Negationem Negationis petens.
