The Proximal Chemical Mandate Principle: A Framework for Invariant Biological Dynamic Optimization

Abstract excerpt

This paper introduces the Proximal Chemical Mandate Principle, a unified theoretical framework asserting that all motivated behavior in organisms with neurochemical systems is driven by two invariant, instantaneous optimization processes: Reward Signal Maximization (R↑) and Stress Signal Minimization (S↓). The mandates operate through a deterministic, expanded hierarchical causal chain, including variables like th...
