contents <p> This paper aims to synthesize three core concepts—”structural stability,” ”sta<br>bility entropy,” and ”structural information density”—to construct a unified theo<br>retical framework describing cross-scale emergent phenomena. We argue that these<br> three concepts, from the perspectives of geometric topology, statistical physics, and<br> quantum information respectively, reveal the same underlying principle: robust<br> emergent phenomena at the macroscopic level are rooted in the establishment and<br> maintenance of ”stability order” within the microscopic structure. This framework<br> interprets emergence as the natural result of a system evolving towards a highly<br> stable structural state, driven by the dual imperatives of ”maximizing structural in<br>formation density” and ”minimizing stability entropy.” By reviewing applications<br> ranging from topological quantum computation and the emergence of spacetime<br> geometry to complex systems such as life and consciousness, we demonstrate the<br> explanatory power and predictive capacity of this framework, and outline future<br> directions for its mathematical formalization and experimental verification.</p>
