Important Note: The latest extended paper Three Rigid Laws of Artificial Intelligence: The Ultimate Boundary Between Instrumentality and Intelligent Life Attributes — An Extended Argument Based on the Theory of Guaranteed Human Victory in Human-Machine Games has been published - (doi:10.5281/zenodo.18901760) Abstract: Based on three core original theories proposed by the author as an independent researcher—Trait Locking Science, Prediction-Regulation Dual-Drive Game Theory (Positive Game), and Reverse Game—this paper adopts the positioning of "theoretical precedence, interdisciplinary verification, and differentiated breakthroughs." It breaks through the academic cognitive limitation that "humans can only defeat AI by stepping out of the framework," constructs a systematic and rigorous theoretical system, and demonstrates the inevitability of human victory over AI within the existing rule framework. First, the core premise is clarified: AI inherently lacks the concept of winning/losing and subjective awareness of victory or defeat, and can only mechanically execute predetermined rules and logic. Its game advantage stems from surface-level rule matching based on massive data accumulation, while its core limitation lies in "black-box rule application"—it cannot understand the essence of rules, independently question premises, or possess reverse transformation capabilities. These flaws originate from its instrumental nature, defined by Trait Locking Science as highly stable rigid defects that cannot be fundamentally overcome through technological upgrades. On this basis, a dynamic game closed loop of "prediction locking-regulation constraint-reverse transformation" is constructed. Mathematical modeling and derivation of inevitable victory conditions are completed using Trait Locking Science methods, clarifying the auxiliary value of human controllable rationality and the core role of rule control. Meanwhile, quantitative formulas are optimized to achieve in-depth integration of the three theories. The research verifies the theoretical effectiveness through interdisciplinary theoretical verification, top journal model comparison, and multi-scenario simulation deduction, supported by core practical logic. It confirms that humans can break through AI's rational advantages and achieve inevitable victory within the framework by locking AI's logical boundaries, regulating the game framework, and transforming opponents' attack arguments. The ultimate source of inevitable human victory lies in the essential difference between "the infinite possibilities of life" and "the limited boundaries of tools," specifically reflected in humans' exclusive creative thinking, divergent thinking, and self-reflective correction capabilities. As a theory derived from practice, this research does not require users to master profound mathematical quantitative methods; individuals with a college degree or above can proficiently apply it, integrating originality, rigor, and operability. This achievement fills the theoretical gap of "active human control within the framework" in the field of human-machine games, improves the game theory and human-machine interaction theoretical systems, provides a new paradigm for reconstructing human-machine relations in the artificial intelligence era, and meets the core requirements of top journals for theoretical research. Note:This study proves that humans can definitely win against AI within the existing framework, relying on the core mechanisms of 'predicting AI's logical boundaries, regulating its strategy space, and converting its attacks into supporting arguments'. The ultimate reason lies in the essential difference between 'the infinite possibilities of life' and 'the limited boundaries of tools'.

Update1:(Beijing Time, 2026-02-03) For a forward-looking analysis of this theory's potential impacts on academia and society, refer to the supplementary guide document (DOI:10.5281/zenodo.18458576) associated with this preprint. Update 2: Release Roadmap for Future Papers(18:12 Beijing Time, April 8, 2026) Guaranteed Human Victory in Human-Machine Games (The First Spark) - Published on January 22, 2026 (doi:10.5281/zenodo.18339379) CEC (Convergent-Explosive Communication) Theory (Side Dish 1) - Published on February 21, 2026 (doi:10.5281/zenodo.18721306) Three Rigid Laws of Artificial Intelligence (Side Dish 2) - Published on March 8, 2026 (doi:10.5281/zenodo.18901760) Brand-New Fundamental/Principle-Level Discipline (Extracted from CEC Theory) - To be published Brand-New Game Theory (A Dimensional Upgrade, Not a Branch in the Game Field) (Bonfire) - To be published Side Dish 3 - Two-Choice Vote (5th Paper) - To be published This is the second round of voting, which will start after the publication of the 4th paper. It only determines the release order, not whether the papers will be published. Option A: Application paper in a subdivision field of the brand-new game theory Option B: Second communication theory paper (complementary to the first and more universally applicable) Voting Mechanism (To be activated after the publication of the brand-new game theory, currently pending): To choose Option A: Visit and click the download button of the paper Positive Game Theory (doi:10.5281/zenodo.18338725) To choose Option B: Visit and click the download button of the paper Reverse Game Theory (doi:10.5281/zenodo.18339072) As I have been focused on submitting my work to international journals recently, I will temporarily pause work on my main theoretical framework. In addition, given its fundamental nature, I believe the fourth new discipline deserves a more appropriate timing and will therefore be deferred.As for the New General Theory of Games, I have been continuously accumulating empirical evidence and refining its system. However, its progress is currently constrained by the need for further empirical validation, so it will also be put on hold for the time being.Nevertheless, dear readers, whenever you see updates of my papers, you will know that I have never stopped working. I have been consistently releasing new content. Perhaps in the near future, if my papers are successfully published in top international journals, you may come to know me again through other channels.Believe me — it is not far away. I truly look forward to presenting my authentic self to the academic community and to my readers. Although the main thread has been suspended, I believe I will resume it soon. In the meantime, my side papers will continue to be updated.I hope readers will continue to follow me as always. Thank you. Postscript (Beijing Time, 2026-03-08) I already know how you will vote, but I won’t say it now. And you know that I know. This is my game theory. Feel free to vote for the one you most want to read first. This only determines the release order, not the final outcome—both are 0-1 principled works, and both will eventually be presented to the world in full. How to Accelerate the Release Speed? (Beijing Time, 2026-03-08) It’s simple—help me spread the word. This is a positive-sum game between the author (me) and you (the readers), and it is also my Theory of Positive and Reverse Games. This is also my Convergent-Explosive Communication Theory in action: it is warm, bidirectional, and a sincere transmission, interaction, and resonance. Your views, downloads, and shares are the most direct responses—this is the tacit resonance between us. Therefore, even though my new game theory has not been officially released, you are already feeling it, experiencing it, and participating in this way of thinking. When the empirical verifications of the previous papers are fully closed, that will be the moment for its official debut. However, your speed of acceptance may not be able to keep up with my speed of publication. Haha. Update 2.1: Paper release context - New addition (Beijing Time, 2026-02-21) Additional Note: Within just 30 days of the publication of Human Victory in Human-Machine Game Theory, I had already collected sufficient global dissemination data to complete the core empirical foundation and full theoretical construction of Convergent-Explosive Communication Theory. Therefore, there was no need to wait for a longer dissemination cycle or full media coverage. I chose to release Convergent-Explosive Communication Theory immediately as "Side Dish 1". After all, predicting the future laws of dissemination is far more subversive and enlightening than merely summarizing the phenomena of the past, is it not?

This study constructs a universal global flavor framework, serving as a typical practice of the "high-value, high-diffusion, strongly implementable" achievement defined in the CEC Theory.
