Primethology: Primordial Behavioral Theory — A Unified Generative Framework for Animal Behavior, Emotion, and Social Structure (Parts I–IV)

Primordial Behavioral Theory (PBT) proposes that all animal behavior, emotion, and social structure emerges from two co-equal primitive signals — nociception and novelty-detection — operating through a single intensity-weighted associative encoding mechanism. The framework derives fear, attachment, love, creativity, sacrifice, and institutional structure from first principles without requiring separate explanatory mechanisms. Scale invariance is claimed across neural, organism, colony, and civilizational levels. Part I states the framework and architecture. Part II provides formal derivations and 520 million years of evolutionary evidence. Part III documents cross-kingdom empirical support across 21 sectors with explicit confirmation, exception, and open-question labelling. Part IV maps the feasibility boundary of complete formal specification with quantitative precision, specifying five research programs required to close existing gaps. Fifteen falsifiable predictions are stated with methodologies.
