| contents | <p>This paper proposes the Threshold Emergence Theory of Action (TETA), a structural <br>framework that reconceptualizes human action not as a continuous probability variable <br>but as a phase transition phenomenon. The theory is built around six structural <br>variables — Reward (R), Loss/Uncertainty (L), Cost (C), Drive (D), Threshold (T), <br>and Taboo Gate (K) — and four Foundational Hypotheses (FH1–FH4) that specify their <br>interaction dynamics, including dead zones below local thresholds, bounded activation <br>intensity, multiplicative amplification by drive, and absolute behavioral suppression <br>by taboo gates. Unlike conventional decision models that treat unexplained behavioral <br>variation as random error, TETA interprets it as arising from unobserved state <br>variables and dynamic thresholds. The framework generates falsifiable predictions <br>regarding non-action as a metastable state, hysteresis in sequential behavior, and <br>asymmetric intervention effects. This is the first paper in a planned three-part <br>research program; companion papers will address multi-purpose extensions and <br>implementation/validation protocols.</p> |
