Abstract

This paper proposes a fundamental theory to understand and explain blockchain based on dissipative structure theory and cognitive science. Propose that blockchain is a dissipative system that is an ordered state far from equilibrium, constantly exchanging various entropy with cyberspace, physics, and society. Provide a formalized cognitive space framework to bridge the gap between the cyber, physical, and social world. Analyze the dissipative structure characteristics of blockchain systems such as openness, far from equilibrium, mutation, fluctuation, and composed of lots of primitive units. Propose and explain that blockchain will be the carrier of the global cyber-physical-social system's common shared cognitive space.
