融合古典哲学遗产与当代科学成果，以揭示存在原理及人类意识运作机制
意识的本源与目的始终是学界争论的焦点。汉伊理从进化论视角提出了引人入胜的时间空间意识理论模型，强调大脑与世界的对齐能力是行为调控与适应的关键要素。该理论模型唯有保障各子系统间的即时整合方能实现进化成功——这种整合通过内在神经活动实现，并持续接受外部刺激的调节。在此框架下，人类意识可与其他形式的主观现实区分开来，从而追溯主观体验背后的进化逻辑。此外，该研究为实证探索奠定了理论基础，有助于揭示主观现实的最普遍状态及其相关神经活动。

Reasoning involves individuality: An inquiry into divination practice and cognitive science.
Time and Mind. 2025, 3-4, 249–265.
In the common sense of the term, reasoning is defined as thinking in a logical and sensible manner that justifies one’s actions has long been central to philosophy. Within the Western tradition, it is generally associated with formal rules, where the structure of reasoning guarantees the validity of inference. This approach tends to treat human cognition as if it were the outcome of mere computation, such that any correct inference must hold true for anyone under the same circumstances. However, recent advances in cognitive science have shown that cognition is always embedded in contexts that shape and constrain one’s abilities. This study develops the authors’ interdisciplinary research in philosophy, anthropology, and cognitive science, aiming to provide a naturalistic account of the origin and development of human consciousness. In particular, it reviews anthropological data on divination practices in early China within the framework of modern scientific inquiry. A notable similarity emerges between these two conceptual systems, both of which imply a high degree of individuality in their modes of reasoning. The synthesis presented here reveals some fundamental modes of cognition shared by all humans and underlying every culture. In doing so, it contributes to cross-cultural studies and fosters deeper mutual understanding.

《推理具有个体性：占卜实践与认知科学的交叉研究》
《时间与心灵》（Time and Mind）2025年第3-4期 249-265页
在常规语境中，推理被定义为以逻辑合理的方式论证行为正当性的思维活动，历来是哲学研究的核心。西方传统通常将推理与形式规则相联系，认为推理结构能保证推断的有效性。这种倾向将人类认知视为纯粹计算的产物，假定任何正确推断在相同条件下必然普遍适用。然而认知科学最新研究表明，认知始终受到情境的嵌入性塑造与制约。本研究整合哲学、人类学与认知科学的跨学科成果，旨在对人类意识的起源与发展提供自然主义解释。特别值得注意的是，该研究在现代科学探究框架下审视了中国早期占卜实践的人类学数据，发现这两种概念体系在推理模式上均呈现出高度个体化特征。由此揭示的全人类共有基础认知模式，不仅推动了跨文化研究发展，更促进了文明间的深度理解。

Entropy and Cross-Level Orderliness in Light of the Interconnection between the Neural System and Consciousness.
Entropy. 2023 (25), 418.
Despite recent advances, the origin and utility of consciousness remains under debate. Using an evolutionary perspective on the origin of consciousness, this review elaborates on the promising theoretical background suggested in the temporospatial theory of consciousness, which outlines world-brain alignment as a critical predisposition for controlling behavior and adaptation. Such a system can be evolutionarily effective only if it can provide instant cohesion between the subsystems, which is possible only if it performs an intrinsic activity modified in light of the incoming stimulation. One can assume that the world-brain interaction results in a particular interference pattern predetermined by connectome complexity. This is what organisms experience as their exclusive subjective state, allowing the anticipation of regularities in the environment. Thus, an anticipative system can emerge only in a regular environment, which guides natural selection by reinforcing corresponding reactions and decreasing the system entropy. Subsequent evolution requires complicated, layered structures and can be traced from simple organisms to human consciousness and society. This allows us to consider the mode of entropy as a subject of natural evolution rather than an individual entity.

《神经系统与意识互视域下的熵与跨层级有序性》
《熵》（Entropy）2023年第25卷 418论文
尽管研究不断深入，意识的起源与效用仍存争议。本研究基于进化视角，系统阐述了时间空间意识理论的前沿理论框架，指出大脑与世界的对齐是实现行为控制与适应的关键前提。这种系统唯有实现子系统间的瞬时协同方能进化成功——这需要通过内在神经活动持续调节来实现。可以推断，大脑与世界的相互作用会形成由连接组复杂性决定的特定干涉模式，生物体将其体验为独特的主观状态，从而实现对环境规律性的预判。这种预判系统只能形成于规律性环境中，通过强化相应反应、降低系统熵值来引导自然选择。从简单生物到人类意识与社会结构的进化历程表明，熵模式应是自然演化的产物而非独立实体。

Evolutionary origin and the development of consciousness.
Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews. 2022 (133), 104511.
This review seeks to combine advances in anthropology and neuroscience to investigate the adaptive value of human consciousness. It uses an interdisciplinary perspective on the origin of consciousness to refute the most common fallacies in considering consciousness, particularly, disregarding the evolutionary origin of the subjective reality in looking for the neural correlates of consciousness and divorcing studies in neuroscience and behavioural sciences. Various explanations linked to consciousness in the field of neuroscience, supplemented with the theoretical explanation of an experience as an ongoing process of overlap between intrinsic neural dynamics and stimulation can be summarised as the stochastic dynamics of one’s control system experienced by the individual in the form of subjective reality. This framework elaborates on the world-brain research program and lays foundation for the quantitative description of one’s qualitative feelings and naturalistic science of consciousness. Furthermore, this study highlights the philosophical perspective of the inseparability between the physical correlates and the subjective reality contributing to the realistic ontology of conscious processes.
