Abstract
This paper proposes the A Dream-Born Paradigm, a new underlying operating logic for the information age that fundamentally subverts the industrial-era information dissemination model of "imposing information on people". Different from the traditional push-based production and communication system relying on capital and channels, this paradigm establishes a core rule: human behavior generates gravitational force, and information converges spontaneously toward behavioral resonance. It clarifies that product and content carriers only carry resonant features, while all propagation momentum originates from spontaneous human behavioral stacking. The study further forms a unified underlying logic with the internal cultivation system of civilization aesthetics, realizing the consistency of individual spiritual resonance and industrial behavioral resonance. The future transformation of production modes across all industries will rely on resonant feature design and human-nature matching, replacing capital-driven promotion with human-driven spontaneous diffusion.
The results are packaged in the Greenfield Startup Model (GSM), which explains the priority of startups to release the product as quickly as possible, and the need to shorten time-to-market, by speeding up the development through low-precision engineering activities.
