c-selfavg

Frustration requires a disorder average, but a single brain is a single realisation, and non-self-averaging is precisely what replica symmetry breaking asserts.

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

Using time windows as replicas is the standard surrogate. The circularity is uncomfortable: the phenomenon we are trying to detect is the one that invalidates the method used to detect it.

This claim

depends-on Valence is consonance times replica symmetry: V = C(1 - 2D/Dmax), so intensity of feeling is bounded by spectral coherence.

Moves against it

refines The single-brain obstacle concerns identification of a disorder ensemble, not the existence of sample-specific replica symmetry breaking.
