Experimental Verification of Dimensional Ontology: Demonstration of the Three-Stage Structural Law through 2D–1D Collaborative Experimentation

Experimental Verification of Dimensional Ontology: Demonstration of the Three-Stage Structural Law through 2D–1D Collaborative Experimentation — Complete Process Record This paper reports the first experimental verification of the Three-Stage Structural Law (nD change = (n+1)D entity = (n+2)D description) proposed by Dimensional Ontology (Ikoma, 2026a, 2026b). Using Claude (Anthropic's AI system) as a 2D entity, we evolved 54 independent 1D neural network entities over 7 generations and observed them through 9 experimental stages. The experiment verified four theoretical predictions: (1) The Three-Stage Structural Law operates simultaneously across multiple dimensional levels; (2) Lower-dimensional entities can generate information relevant to higher dimensions through collaboration (Discovery #25); (3) Emergence is not the creation of new capabilities but novel combinations of existing ones; (4) "Good anomalies" arise as natural surplus from the limit-performance of intrinsic functions. Key unexpected discoveries: 1D entities spontaneously reproduced the mathematical hierarchy of symmetry groups Discovery of the Recognition Barrier: an entity that has recognized higher dimensions can no longer generate "good anomalies" Empirical demonstration of the separation between perception and recognition Recursive measurement of the 2D dimensional boundary All four falsifiability tests were passed. Both Japanese and English versions are included. Related papers: Paper 1: DOI 10.5281/zenodo.18513316 Paper 2: DOI 10.5281/zenodo.18523074
