Source: spectral-panpsychism/ch10 — the full argument this claim compresses

Proposal 10.2, and the most speculative claim in the seed corpus. It is the one identification made on grounds of formal aptness alone, with neither a theorem nor a measurement behind it.

This claim

depends-on The Fisher-Rao metric on the family of univariate Gaussians is hyperbolic with constant curvature -1/2.

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

Moves against it

refutes Uhlmann holonomy cannot define the qualitative character of a state because it is an invariant of a chosen loop rather than of the state itself.

refines Qualitative kind, if it is intrinsic to the corpus's subject, is carried by the concrete embedding of the split factor in the net, not by any invariant of a state on that factor.

refutes A faithful state's modular orbit is a single point, so modular flow cannot supply the missing canonical loop for Uhlmann holonomy.

refutes Every state-intrinsic invariant of the Bures geometry is a function of the state's spectrum alone, because the Bures metric's eigenvalues relative to Hilbert-Schmidt are one over twice the sum of two eigenvalues.

refutes Proposal 10.2 uses a purification construction that exists only on type I factors, so qualitative character is defined on a different von Neumann type than Theorem 3.1's local algebras.

refines The Uhlmann holonomy of the ambient modular orbit is strictly finer than the modular spectral measure and is trivial exactly when the state is stationary.
