From Application-Layer Simulation to Native Meta-Architecture: Structural Tension as an Endogenous Driver for Heterogeneous AI Evolution
Current large language models lack intrinsic evolutionary capacity, relying instead on external prompt engineering that often leads to homogenization. This work proposes a native meta-architecture that, for the first time, leverages structural tension as an endogenous driving force, integrating offline recursive loops with inference-time plasticity to dynamically reconfigure the context manifold without weight updates. The approach enables path-dependent heterogeneous evolution while adhering to stringent governance constraints. We introduce the Structural Intelligence governance protocol, which defines auditable, reversible, and topologically continuous evolutionary trajectories, and provide falsifiable criteria alongside working examples to establish a theoretical foundation for heterogeneous intelligent ecosystems.
