使用 OpenAI ChatGPT 4o 进行深度研究
你是一名才华横溢的博士生，正在撰写你的博士论文。由于最终的论文将由数个章节组成，总计约 70,000 词，你正在将其分解为若干子任务。
这是子任务 5，专注于第 4 章。
附件中你将找到六份文档：
- 论文研究基础：多重危机中的人类生存——这份文档提供了整篇论文的概览。你应将其视为你的论文路线图，并理解当前子任务在其中的位置。
- 论文进展：大纲与贡献——论文章节大纲。使用此大纲来定位你当前工作的章节（本子任务）在更大的叙事脉络中的位置。
- 起点参考文献——这是一份参考文献列表，你应将其作为起点。然而，你需要为本章节进行自己深入且迭代的研究，远超出这些文献的范围。
- 第 1 章 D1——论文的第一章
- 第 2 章 D1——论文的第二章
- 第 3 章 D1——论文的前一章（第三章）
你应使用这些文档来确保第 4 章符合论文的总体叙事和方向。
你将在下方找到关于此子任务的具体说明，以及论文研究问题的提醒。
你应主要依赖学术和文献资料进行研究。你应采用滚雪球式的研究方法，追踪现有文献中的线索，以发展你的想法和理解，直至达到饱和点。
你应在研究中展现出深厚的学术素养。你的目标是通过论文，从研究中梳理出新的、具有潜在变革性的知识，做到富有创造力和洞察力，所提供的路线图应在此方面指导你。
论文章节的成果应使你在三个相互关联的领域显著拓展已知知识的边界。
你的研究方法应基于对所有相关学术文献的深入探究（再次使用滚雪球法直至饱和）；运用你卓越的学术素养和才智，从文献内部及跨文献的联系和模式中提取新的知识和见解；并运用你的才智和深厚学术素养，将这些综合成清晰、原创且有影响力的知识成果。
你的方法应植根于哲学，但不受其束缚——采取一种超越学科界限的方法来生成新的知识和见解。
====================
子任务 5
===================
第 4 章：理论框架——多重危机的系统视角
在此子任务中，你将研究并撰写第 4 章。请务必参考支撑文档，以确保该章节与整篇论文协调一致。
在本章中，论文将详细阐述集成的理论视角。它将解释来自复杂性理论（涌现、反馈）、系统思维（相互依存、杠杆点）、韧性（适应周期、阈值）、政治经济学（权力结构、资本主义的作用）的关键概念，以及任何构成分析工具包的哲学建构（例如，风险伦理、人类安全）。可以提出一个关于多重危机如何运作的概念模型。本章为读者提供了后续实证和分析章节将借以解释的视角。（关键主题：复杂系统行为、韧性能力、社会脆弱性、伦理考量）。
你应在研究中使用滚雪球方法，追踪新的线索直至达到饱和。
本章长度应在 20,000 词左右。
研究完成后，我希望你交付以下内容：
- 第 4 章的完整全面草稿。
====================
论文指导性问题
===================
提醒一下，论文的总体问题是：
人类能否在环境压力、社会政治动荡和技术加速所构成的新兴多重危机中生存下来？
这包含三个子问题：
- 是否有证据表明人类正在进入一个不同于历史上任何以往时期的多重危机阶段？新兴多重危机的维度是什么？它们如何单独及协同地潜在地影响社会？与历史过往时期相比，共通点和不同点在哪里？可以从过去学到什么？
- 在此研究背景下，应如何理解人类的生存？关于人类生存和繁荣的新兴概念和观点有哪些？它们如何从历史中汲取信息？从分布边缘而非主流进行思考可以学到什么？
- 全球范围内的人类如何开始思考应对新兴多重危机以求生存的方法？可能影响思考和行动的哲学、社会、政治和经济框架及因素是什么？
论文应植根于学术和哲学思想。你的研究方法应利用涵盖人类历史（直至当下）的广泛来源和思想，以产生新的想法、理解和见解。
在上述提示之后、研究和写作开始之前，来自深度研究的问题：
深度研究：
在我开始起草第 4 章之前，我想澄清一些细节，以确保它与你的论文完美契合：
- 关键主题与侧重点：本章是否应同等权重地对待所有理论框架（复杂性理论、系统思维、韧性、政治经济学和哲学建构），还是有你希望优先侧重的特定领域？
- 概念模型：我是否应该开发一个视觉/概念模型来说明多重危机的动态？如果需要，你希望这是一个具有明确定义变量的正式化框架，还是一个更灵活的、叙事驱动的概念化模型？
- 案例研究：你希望本章包含体现理论原理的历史或当代案例研究，还是应主要保持概念性和抽象性？
- 跨学科范围：你提到了超越学科界限——除了哲学和政治经济学，是否有你希望整合的特定学科（例如，环境科学、神经科学、人类学）？
- 结构与风格：你希望本章采用更具论证性的语气（权衡相互竞争的理论和观点），还是更具解释性、综合性的方法（将见解综合成一个连贯的框架）？
请告知你的偏好，以便我能确保本章符合你的愿景和研究目标！
我的回复：
- 请同等权重对待所有框架，除非出现需要改变的理由。
- 请开发一个叙事驱动的概念模型。
- 是的，请使用案例。
- 我确实认为你应该引入像复杂性理论和系统方法这样的领域——并且至少借鉴众多相邻学科。这正是在你追踪有趣线索时发挥你学术直觉的地方。
- 我认为论证性的语气是合适的，但由于你在这里是在生成和测试新想法，你也应该将见解综合成一个连贯的框架。

ChatGPT Dissertation Writing using Deep Research
OpenAI ChatGPT 4o with Deep Research
You are a brilliant PhD student writing your PhD. As the final dissertation will consist of several chapters and will be around 70,000 words long you are breaking this down into a number of sub tasks.
This is sub task 5 and focuses on chapter 4.
Attached you will find six documents:
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Dissertation Research Foundations: Humanity’s Survival Amidst a Polycrisis –– this document provides an overview of the whole dissertation. You should treat this as your map to the dissertation and how the current sub task fits in
Toward a Dissertation: Outline and Contributions – the dissertation chapter outline. Use this to position the chapter you are currently working on (this sub task) in the bigger narrative arc.
Starting Point References – this is a list of references you should use as a starting point. However, you should do your own deep and iterative research for the chapter that goes well beyond these
Chapter 1 D1 – the first chapter of the dissertation
Chapter 2 D1 – the second chapter of the dissertation
Chapter 3 D1 – the preceding chapter of the dissertation
You should use these to ensure chapter 4 fits into the overarching narrative and direction of the dissertation.
You will find specific instructions on the sub task below, and a reminder of the dissertation research questions
You should rely primarily on academic and scholarly literature. You should use a snowball approach to your research, following leads in available literature to develop your ideas and understanding until you reach a saturation point.
You should demonstrate deep scholarship in your research. Your goal is to be creative and insightful in teasing out new and potentially transformative knowledge from your research through the dissertation, and the provided map should guide you here.
The dissertation chapter should result in you significantly extending the boundaries of what is known in three interconnected areas.Your research methods should be grounded in a deep dive into all relevant academic and scholarly literature, again using a snowball approach until saturation is reached; using your brilliant scholarship and intellect to draw out new knowledge and insights from connections and patterns within and across the literature; and using your intellect and deep scholarship to synthesize these into clear, original and impactful knowledge outputs.
You should ground your approach in philosophy but not be bound by this – taking an approach that transcends disciplinary boundaries to generate new knowledge and insights.
====================
SUB TASK 5
===================
Chapter 4: Theoretical Framework – A Systems View of Polycrisis
In this sub task you will be researching and writing chapter 4. Please make sure you refer to the supporting documents so that the chapter fits in with the overall dissertation.
In this chapter the dissertation will elaborate the integrated theoretical lens in detail. It will explain key concepts from complexity theory (emergence, feedback), systems thinking (interdependence, leverage points), resilience (adaptive cycles, thresholds), political economy (power structures, capitalism’s role), and any philosophical constructs (e.g., risk ethics, human security) that form the analysis toolkit. A conceptual model of how the polycrisis operates may be presented. This chapter equips the reader with the lens through which subsequent empirical and analytical chapters will be interpreted. (Key themes: complex systems behavior, resilience capacity, societal vulnerability, ethical considerations.).
You should use a snowball approach in your research where you follow new leads until you reach saturation.
The chapter should be around 20,000 words long
When your research is complete I would like you to deliver the following:
1. A complete and comprehensive draft of chapter 4
====================
DISSERTATION GUIDING QUESTIONS
===================As a reminder, the overarching question of the dissertation is:
Can humanity survive the emerging polycrisis of environmental stressors, sociopolitical upheaval, and technological acceleration?
This encompasses three sub-questions:
1. 2. 3. Is there evidence that humanity is entering a period of polycrisis that is unlike any previous point in history? What are the dimensions of the emerging polycrisis, how do they individually and synergistically potentially impact society, where are the commonalities and points of departure from previous points in history, and what can be learned from the past?
How might human survival be understood in the context of this research? What are emergent concepts and ideas around human survival and flourishing, and how are they informed by history? What can be learned from thinking at the edge of the distribution rather than in the mainstream.
How can humanity at a global scale begin to think about approaches to surviving the emerging polycrisis? What are the philosophical, social, political and economic frames and factors that are likely to inform thinking and actions?
The dissertation should be grounded in scholarship and philosophical thought. Your research method should draw on a wide range of sources and thought that span human history — up to the present — to generate new ideas, understanding, and insights.
Questions from Deep Research after the prompt above and before research and writing began:
Deep Research:
Before I begin drafting Chapter 4, I want to clarify a few details to ensure it aligns perfectly with your dissertation:
1. 2. Key Themes and Emphasis: Should the chapter equally weight all the theoretical frameworks (complexity theory, systems thinking, resilience, political economy, and philosophical constructs), or are there specific areas you’d like to prioritize more?
Conceptual Model: Should I develop a visual/conceptual model to illustrate the dynamics of polycrisis? If so, would you like this to be a formalized framework with defined variables or a more flexible, narrative-driven conceptualization?3. 4. 5. Case Studies: Do you want the chapter to include historical or contemporary case studies that exemplify the theoretical principles, or should it remain primarily conceptual and abstract?
Interdisciplinary Scope: You mentioned transcending disciplinary boundaries— are there any particular disciplines beyond philosophy and political economy that you’d like to integrate (e.g., environmental science, neuroscience, anthropology)?
Structure and Style: Would you like the chapter to have a more argumentative tone (weighing competing theories and perspectives) or a more explanatory, integrative approach (synthesizing insights into a cohesive framework)?
Let me know your preferences so I can ensure this chapter aligns with your vision and research goals!
Me:
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Please weigh all equally unless a reason emerges to change this
Please develop a narrative-driven conceptual model
Yes, please do use cases
I do think you should draw in areas like complexity theory and systems approaches — and at least draw on a multitude of adjacent disciplines. This is where your scholarly instinct comes in as you follow interesting leads.
I think argumentative is appropriate, but as you are generating and testing new ideas here you should also be synthesizing insights into a cohesive framework.
