This paper proposes a unified meta-ontological grammar that enables homologous isomorphic axiomatisation spanning the physical world and the cognitive space, Eastern and Western paradigms, the humanities and natural sciences, carbon-silicon agents, the intellectual lineage of Confucianism, Buddhism, Daoism and the Yi, and the meta-cognition of consciousness and selfhood. For four centuries, the convergent paradigm has been the de facto sole legitimate paradigm accepted in scientific research. Its monopolistic status arises not from its capacity to exhaustively cover all reality, but from a persistent absence in the intellectual history of humanity of a complete meta-ontological axiom system. This system must fulfil three core objectives simultaneously: first, situate the convergent paradigm within a broader paradigm lineage and revoke its legislative monopoly; second, construct parallel, equipotent dual axiomatisation of the physical world and the cognitive space; third, furnish a single axiomatic grammar supportable both for internalisation within human carbonic minds and for mounting on silicon intelligent carriers. The present work accomplishes all three homologous axiomatisation tasks. This is the opening declaration paper of the series, delivering complete structural conclusions at the signpost layer. Four cascading transformative outcomes are established: first, the paradigm space expands from a monolithic convergent framework to a full plural lineage; the convergent paradigm ceases to be the definition of science itself and becomes merely one instrumental special case within the lineage. Second, the cognitive space is liberated from its status as an appendage of philosophical speculation and psychological phenomena, acquiring equipotent ontological standing as an independent exploratory domain alongside the physical world. The legitimate objects of scientific inquiry are extended from the solitary physical world to the dual domain of the physical and the cognitive. Third, the multiplicative coupling of the dual exploratory domains and the plural paradigm lineage yields a dimensional expansion of the space of legitimate scientific questions. Fourth, the complete meta-ontological framework validates the dual-agent formalisability of carbonic internalisation and silicon mounting. This paper adheres strictly to the disciplinary division between structural closure and evidential closure: all structurally self-consistent meta-ontological deductions are presented in full; all propositions awaiting experimental probes and quantitative derivation are marked explicitly. This distinction is not a defect of the system; it is the distinguishing feature that separates it from dogmatic totalising doctrines of the past. The framework actively demarcates its failure boundaries and refuses to equate logical self-consistency directly with empirical truth.
