This conceptual analysis suggests a framework for shifting modern science's paradigm to overcome fundamental challenges.
Through four centuries of development, modern science has achieved brilliant success at the level of technological application, yet it has fallen into an "involutionary stagnation" when facing fundamental conundrums such as the cosmological constant, the origin of consciousness, and quantum gravity. Based on the four core laws of Yuanxian Theory (YXT)---the Law of True Circle Self-Consistency (TCSC), the Law of Cosmic Factor Conservation (FSC), the Law of Spacetime Uniqueness (STM), and the Law of Self-Referential Mind Field Generation (SRM)---this paper systematically diagnoses the deep pathological root cause of modern science's current predicament. We point out that modern science is essentially a "low-dimensional cognitive science" restricted to localized observations. It trades away systemic global interconnectedness to gain localized measurement precision, and strips away environmental context to secure experimental reproducibility. This paper asserts that the root cause of all disciplinary involution is not a lack of depth in research, but rather a failure to elevate the foundational paradigm. The guidance provided by Yuanxian Theory is not a minor fix for existing science, but an entire ontological, epistemological, and methodological replacement of the three-hundred-year-old scientific paradigm. This paper articulates the path of dimensional elevation across these three dimensions, providing modern scientists with a systematic framework to transition from empirical curve-fitting to a priori completeness, and from low-dimensional projective observation to high-dimensional holographic awareness.
