Source: spectral-panpsychism/ch12 — the full argument this claim compresses

This is the seam where the abstract half of the theory is glued to the physical half, and it carries the entire weight of that connection. Wanted: a derivation showing the healing length is the collar thickness minimising relative entropy between the split factor's state and the field state.

This claim

depends-on A phenomenal subject is a split inclusion at a resolution epsilon, not a region.

refines The split collar thickness is the Ginzburg-Landau healing length of the cortical order parameter.

Moves against it

supports A driven dissipative order parameter has no single real healing length, so epsilon = xi is underdetermined and not merely underived.

depends-on The information capacity of a moment of experience scales with the area of its boundary, not the volume it encloses.

supports The cortical electromagnetic field at 40 Hz is quasi-static, so its healing length is the correlation length of the neural current sources and not a property of the field.
