Ortropy Foundations
The series moves from historical organization to its dynamics, then to the formation of reusable generative units.

III. Generative Emergence: Selective Continuity, Autonomous Levels, and Hierarchical Composition
Feng Li · Preprint v1.0 · 3 October 2026
Investigates when a historically formed whole becomes a reusable unit, with explicit models, causal tests and limits on hierarchical composition.
Archetypal Organization: Linking Psychological Configurations and Cultural Meaning
Explains how recurring life situations organize psychological responses, and how roles, narratives and symbols mediate their cultural expression. The framework distinguishes psychological recurrence from cultural correspondence and proposes a path toward empirical testing.
