Kuaijie Sinology: Hierarchy Fixed by a Single Character — A Study on the Single-Character Information Compression of Ancient Hierarchical Meaning

This paper is the third mother text of the Kuaijie Sinology three-tier textual system. Echoing The Jia Banquet (high-dimensional compression at text level) and Si Si Er Pi (high-dimensional compression at lexical level), it jointly constructs a complete cross-verification chain for high-dimensional information compression of Chinese characters. Rooted in the Three-Dual Paradigm & Four-Coherence Criteria of Kuaijie Sinology, this paper breaks the limitation of official-history research confined to a single dynasty. Based on long-standing semantic images stabilized by folk consensus, it divides multiple independent social tracks and investigates the encoded identity, authority, ritual treatment and hierarchical order embedded within single characters. This paper sorts out nine sequences: civilian labor, military ranks, yamen clerks, local administration, central civil officials, inner court ranks, imperial examination promotion, noble titles and supreme sovereign power. It clarifies the hierarchical chain and semantic boundary of related characters, and demonstrates that Chinese characters possess the capacity of native order encoding: a single character, as the minimal semantic unit, can carry stable information of social stratification. Serving as the general outline, this mother text can be expanded into separate preprint papers focusing on any single track, so as to deepen the research on the encoding mechanism of Chinese writing. 本文为蒯解汉学三阶文本体系的第三篇母文,与《贾・宴》(篇章级高维压缩)、《似四而匹》(词汇级高维压缩)次第呼应,共同构建汉字高维信息压缩的完整互证链条。本文以三双四通研判范式为根基,跳出传统职官史单一朝代制度考证的局限,依托历代通行、民间共识稳定沉淀的字义意象,划分多条相互独立的社会赛道,分轨勘定单字内部封装的身份、权责、礼遇、尊卑秩序编码。 全文梳理民间劳力、武职军阶、府衙办事、地方行政、朝堂文官、内廷位次、科举晋升、宗室封爵、天下权柄九大序列,厘清各组汉字的位次链条与语义边界,论证华夏汉字具备原生秩序编码能力:最小语义单元的单个汉字,可承载一套稳定的社会层级信息。本文为母文总纲,后续可择取任一赛道独立延展,形成系列预印本子文,持续深化华夏文字编码机制的研究。
