This paper reconstructs the concepts of Mana and Tapu within traditional Polynesian cosmology using the mathematical frameworks of modern non-local information topology and quantum field theory. For over a century, anthropology and religious studies have interpreted Mana primarily as supernatural power or spiritual authority, and Tapu as social taboos or class constraints. However, when analyzed through microphysics and information dynamics, Mana fundamentally corresponds to the capacity for energy accumulation and flow within a scalar potential field, representing field potential that maintains high quantum coherence and information compression. Conversely, Tapu operates not merely as behavioral regulation, but as explicit topological boundary conditions defined within fluid topology and information geometry, serving to shield local quantum coherent states against environmental decoherence. Furthermore, we demonstrate that traditional Polynesian rituals, sanctified boundaries, and body arts (Tā moko) function intrinsically as topological quantum error-correcting codes (QECC) and coherent vortex structures. By formalizing the Mana-Tapu framework, this study transforms indigenous dynamic balance into a modern high-dimensional topological defense mechanism for collective consciousness coherence. 本篇論文旨在透過現代非局域資訊拓撲(Non-local Information Topology)與微觀量子場論(Quantum Field Theory)的數學架構,重新構建大洋洲波利尼西亞傳統宇宙觀中的「Mana」與「Tapu」概念。長期以來,人類學與宗教學多將 Mana 視為超自然力量或神聖權威,將 Tapu 視為社會禁忌與階級約束。然而,若由微觀物理與資訊流動的視角切入,Mana 實質上對應於一種純量位能場(Scalar Potential Field)的聚能與流動能力,代表系統保持高度相干性(Coherence)與資訊壓縮度的場位能;而 Tapu 則非單純的行為規範,而是在流體拓撲與資訊幾何中劃定的拓撲邊界條件(Topological Boundary Conditions),其功能在於防止環境退相干(Decoherence)並保護系統內部的局域量子相干態。本文將進一步論證,波利尼西亞傳統中的儀式與結界,本質上是一種「資訊糾錯碼」(Quantum Error-Correcting Code, QECC)與流體動力學中的渦旋相干結構。透過將 Mana-Tapu 架構數學化,我們得以將傳統部落的動態平衡觀念,轉化為現代高維資訊拓撲與集體意識相干性的防禦機制模型。 Publication Index Note: Part of the Research Series: Quantum Tathāgatagarbha & World History of Philosophy (Paper WP_028).
