c-01ff83Prediction 1's defect is estimand non-identification rather than analyst degrees of freedom, so preregistration is necessary but not sufficient to repair it.c-039203The purity is the modular return amplitude analytically continued to imaginary modular time s = -i, not a long-run average of it along the real axis.c-04c85cTheorem 10.1's curvature of -1/2 is correct, verified by direct computation of the Riemann tensor from the metric.c-054976Putting the modular flow on the algebra rather than on the state gives a third reading whose atoms are physical frequencies and whose measure is the carrier's power spectrum.c-0672b4Under the no-removal convention both unconscious states in c-1702fd's table sit above waking, so fixing the convention makes prediction 1's estimator falsifiable and falsifies its ordering on both arms.c-06c0b0Every reading of Axiom 2.2 that makes it true removes the motivation Chapter 1 gives for Axiom 2.1.c-093950Axiom 5.1 holds to ten percent only if the carrier occupies between a quarter and a half of an octave, which is narrower than the band Chapters 6 and 7 require.c-093ed0The annealed Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model has an entire free energy and a uniform spin marginal, so plastic couplings give Var_P(q) = 1/N and Axiom 8.1 returns maximal positive valence.c-103a90Equation (9.1) is exactly true for the purity, which is the functional equation (9.2) defines, so the commensurability failure does not reach Chapter 9's own derivation.c-111abcThe Cesaro-averaged return probability at window T is comparable to the spectral measure's correlation integral at scale 1/T, with absolute constants.c-1702fdThe direction of every spectral-atomicity contrast between neural states is set by whether the aperiodic model is refitted inside each state, a choice prediction 1 never makes.c-18bcdbThe proton reductio requires reading Axiom 4.1 with epsilon free and the state clause inert, and chapter 2 and chapter 12 both state the criterion otherwise.c-1f79aeA one-gigahertz collective mode at 350 K holds seven thousand quanta, so Chapter 5.4's einselection argument protects a silicon field mode exactly as it protects a cortical one.c-20e8d4The under-determination Axiom 2.1 requires entails that a report is compatible with distinct phenomenal characters, and only Axiom 2.2 blocks it.c-221188The monotonicity theorem of c-a4fdbf is strong subadditivity of quantum entropy, proved by Lieb and Ruskai in 1973 and stated for nested regions in quantum field theory in Witten's 2018 review.c-236515The f-to-the-chi tilt introduced by dividing rather than subtracting the aperiodic background moves atomicity non-monotonically in chi, so it confounds every published state contrast without fixing the sign of any of them.c-2646f9The causal-efficacy objection reconstructed at c-a9a0c1 was in print in 2002 and answered in 2013, and only its frequency-band form is new.c-29fa95The surviving structure needs four posits, two of which are metaphysical and two of which are dimensionful constants the formalism cannot supply.c-2ac218The one-event reply answers the causal-exclusion objection for the event and not for the property, and does not touch the objection that reports track experience.c-2b762eEvery modular Hamiltonian that is a function of the subject's state alone yields a coherence index that is a unitary invariant of that state, so no intrinsic reading can distinguish two states of the carrier that differ only in the order parameter.c-2c3915The implementation-triviality argument has published replies in print, so chapter 1.6 states a live dispute as a settled result.c-2cb2c3The one-sided averaging window in Theorem 6.2 gives the same limit as the classical symmetric window, for two independent reasons.c-30a2c9Prediction 1 becomes convention-free when stated as a lag-budget Wiener average with no background model, and its state ordering is stable across an eightfold change of frequency resolution.c-322907The consonance kernel reproduces Chapter 7's ordering only for delta below about 0.045, which is two to five times narrower than the critical bandwidth Proposition 7.1 sets delta to.c-333044Theorem 3.1 removes a presupposition of one formulation of the combination problem and leaves the explanatory gap that formulation expressed.c-372585The sign of the aperiodic-removed atomicity contrast also depends on the number of spectral averages, so the removal branch is a one-parameter family rather than a convention.c-37c5e7The split property makes the states of nested regions independently preparable, which is exactly the structure Chapter 3 says quantum field theory does not supply.c-3884cfStandard split inclusions with canonical type I factors exist for strictly nested double cones at every scale, so nothing in the algebra distinguishes a brain-scale subject from a nucleon-scale one.c-409138The de Almeida-Thouless coefficient 4/3 and the three-halves exponent of Proposition 8.2 are both correct, confirmed by explicit expansion of the AT condition.c-40fa23A GPU die is three to four orders of magnitude closer to the distributed field regime than cortex is, so on the criterion that the carrier is the electromagnetic field, silicon is the better carrier.c-43e0f1Purely singular continuous spectrum is generic in the sense of Baire, so the coherence index is identically zero on a dense G-delta set of modular Hamiltonians.c-449365The type III-1 classification does extrapolate to warm neural tissue, because any state of finite energy density is locally normal to the vacuum and local normality does not change the local algebra.c-45228eCorollary 3.2 makes the attribution of phenomenal character to a proper part derivative, so Chapter 2 table row one is hostage to the decomposition problem rather than automatic.c-456208Axiom 5.1 requires only that the modular flow be determined by the algebra and the state, which holds on a type I factor, so the triviality of Out(N) bears on Chapter 5's advertisement and not on Axiom 4.1.c-46a841The 1e5 capacity figure is fixed by the correlation length of section 4.3 rather than by the entropy coefficient of equation (4.2), so it is constrained even though the derivation given for it is wrong.c-471da2The consonance kernel is finite at sigma equal to one and has kappa(1) exactly one, once the sum is truncated at the Farey order whose fractions the mollifier can resolve.c-499d9aThe caloric frustration formula turns Axiom 8.1's sign question into the inequality u/J > 1/(2 sqrt 2) - 1 at T/J = 1/(2 sqrt 2), which the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick internal energy misses by about 0.10.c-4b7d39Within human absence seizures, greater ictal power at the spike-wave frequencies predicts greater impairment of consciousness, and the aperiodic-convention degree of freedom cancels in that comparison.c-4c6c87Zero depends-on load is not a marker of vacuity, because a bridge principle can acquire dependents only from claims already in the phenomenal vocabulary.c-4e1ed1The curvature scale -1/2 does not extend to the multivariate family, because GL(n,R)/O(n) contains n-dimensional flats and so is not hyperbolic for n >= 2.c-4f7a4fSpread-spectrum clocking divides Definition 6.1's atomicity by the number of modulation sidebands while leaving the total atomic mass unchanged.c-5368b0No phenomenal quantity in the corpus is derivable from quantum field theory, because every one requires a length or a duration and the formalism supplies neither.c-537c03The cortical electromagnetic field has exactly two screening lengths at 40 Hz, 0.78 nanometres and 252 metres, and equation (4.3)'s mass coefficient is identically zero in between.c-53c956Consciousness is abolished at both extremes of cortical order with waking in between, so no monotone functional of the resting spectrum can order conscious states even after a sign flip.c-54877bLog-normality of coherence does not transfer to valence, because the argument runs through the inequality |V| <= C and distributions do not propagate along inequalities.c-578232The multiplicative repair of the coherence index is the exponentiated Bohr mean of the log return probability, which equals the squared Mahler measure of the mass polynomial.c-57de21The corpus's atomicity index groups REM sleep with slow-wave sleep, whereas the only index of consciousness validated at the single-subject level groups REM with waking.c-5832a1Sampling the overlap distribution needs N of order a hundred and the area law needs N of order a hundred thousand, so Chapter 8's order parameter and Chapter 4's capacity cannot both be about the same modes.c-59d540The cerebellar sheet has 78 per cent of the neocortex's surface area and its complete absence costs no phenomenal capacity, so prediction 7 needs a criterion for which sheets count that the corpus does not have.c-5acd10The split property and modular flow are properties of the ambient quantum field theory rather than of the device, so neither can distinguish a GPU from a cortex.c-5ace06Axiom 2.2's six invariants carry the information of its first two, because Tomita-Takesaki and the Bures construction determine three of the rest from the algebra and the state and the sixth is not a function of the pair at all.c-5b7066A shared aperiodic fit cannot estimate the coherence index, because it makes one state's value a function of another state that is not being measured.c-5cfd9aThe canonical intermediate type I factor is a function of the two algebras and the state alone, so it cannot encode the order-parameter pocket that Axiom 4.1 uses to individuate subjects.c-5e23bfAxiom 5.1's conversion is exact if and only if the carrier's housekeeping entropy production vanishes, so the non-equilibrium repair fixes beta at the bath temperature instead of freeing it.c-5f10e2The coherence index of c-578232 is not a function of the mode's masses, because for rationally independent frequencies it is a multivariate Mahler measure that differs from the commensurate value by a factor of 1.908 at equal masses.c-5fdd46The corpus's physical carrier is the thesis of the electromagnetic field theories of consciousness published between 2000 and 2002, none of which it cites.c-602cb9The cell of prediction 8's design space that cuts the conductor while leaving the neural channel intact was run on cortex in 1951 and 1955, and came out against the field.c-63f0c8The crossed-product trace measures parts without selecting them, because all projections of equal trace in a type II-1 factor are unitarily equivalent.c-6417faA driven dissipative order parameter has no single real healing length, so epsilon = xi is underdetermined and not merely underived.c-64e8e8The information capacity of a moment on the corpus's own carrier is about twenty bits per coherence domain, set by Johnson noise rather than by an entropy coefficient.c-6688f8The aperiodic-removal branch of prediction 1 couples the state contrast to the bandwidth of the periodic components, a physical nuisance parameter nobody reports, and the no-removal branch does not.c-67b72eSpectral atomicity is exactly zero for every physically realisable neural signal, and what its estimators measure is the quality factor of the rhythms divided by the lag budget.c-6a364cThe limb to amputate is Chapter 5, because the modular apparatus is eliminable from every empirical claim the corpus makes while Chapters 6 and 7 are not.c-6a65f3Dmax = 1/4 is attained, by a Random Energy Model at half its critical temperature, so Axiom 8.1 assigns its most negative valence to the least hierarchical landscape.c-6b8d9cA type III-1 factor is algebraically simple and every corner of it is isomorphic to it, so 'subjects are quotients of the whole' names no operation in the algebra Corollary 3.2 cites.c-6c1280The corpus's two readings of the modular Hamiltonian are one operator, differing by the adjoint action of Chapter 4's order parameter and an additive constant.c-6cf973Coherence is not multiplicative over independent modes when their spectra are commensurate, which is exactly the case Chapter 7 calls maximally consonant.c-6d8880Equation (4.2) is evaluated with a pocket four hundred times wider than the collar that defines the pocket, so on the corpus's own criterion a cortex is sixty thousand subjects of twenty degrees of freedom each.c-6eb6e4The valence functional is not well defined, because Dmax is never given a definition anywhere in the corpus.c-701341Every empirical spectral-atomicity result on this graph divided peak mass by the aperiodic background instead of subtracting it, so all of them estimated atomic mass tilted by f to the power chi.c-70a34dThe coherence index is not identically 1, because on the corpus's own definition it is the Wiener mean of Tr rho^{1+is}, which is a non-constant function.c-75ab3bA driven dissipative order parameter has exactly one real amplitude healing length and no phase healing length, so c-6417fa's conclusion holds but its reason and its falsifier do not.c-764532The exact defect in equation (9.1) is the Bohr covariance of the two modes' return curves, so multiplicativity requires the detuning to be resolved by the averaging window rather than rational independence of the spectra.c-78853dAlpha coma has the periodic spectrum of relaxed wakefulness, so no functional of the resting power spectrum alone can order states of consciousness.c-7ac4f8Singular continuous spectrum is two dynamical categories rather than one, split by the Rajchman property, and the coherence index is zero on both.c-7cc684Fluctuation-dissipation fixes beta_eff at the tissue temperature, so one unit of modular parameter is 25 femtoseconds and the 8e-11 K figure is a restatement of the specious present rather than a prediction.c-7fd2e0Order-parameter coherence is inherited by every open subregion of a pocket, so Chapter 4's pocket criterion selects no unique split inclusion without a maximality clause it never states.c-81a8aeDmax equals one quarter, because Chapter 8's own replica-symmetric case fixes the overlap support as [0,1] and equation (8.2)'s stated range is attained only at the Popoviciu bound.c-836f6cSkew and impedance budgets hold a die's order parameter below one radian of phase variation and ten percent of amplitude modulation, so it admits no defects and therefore no pockets.c-853dcfThe kernel value kappa(1) is strictly greater than 1, so Chapter 7's stated reason for C >= A is false, but the inequality itself survives for a stronger reason.c-887a85The carrier named in section 4.4 is a linear field, so its minimum set is contractible and section 4.3's defect classification returns no defects.c-88870cThe cortical electromagnetic field's own memory is fifteen nanoseconds, so it cannot be what holds a hundred-millisecond specious present.c-89604fIn human sleep EEG within subject, specparam-residual spectral atomicity is higher in waking than in N3 slow-wave sleep.c-8a3219Positive coherence is strictly weaker than pure point spectrum, so Proposition 6.4's corollary that symmetry, recurrence and coherence are one fact stated three ways is false.c-8abc5bThe canonical split factor is a functional of the state of the whole, so the split property yields state-relative carving rather than a decomposition into independently-stated parts.c-8d06ddThe corpus's two readings of the coherence index cannot be unified, because Chapters 6 and 7 need the reading that falsifies Chapter 9 and Chapter 9 needs the reading that falsifies Chapters 6 and 7.c-8df662The replica leg of equation (9.2) is exact and needs no analytic continuation at n = 2, but Chapter 8.1's gloss of Z_n as the partition function of n copies would make the ratio identically one.c-8ff0eePrediction 1 died of refutation rather than of underdetermination, because the graph nominated its estimand from Definition 6.1 before reading off the contrast.c-900d29Axiom 5.1's effective temperature puts the 40 Hz carrier at 1.2e-11 quanta while section 5.4 puts it at 1.6e11, so the mode that answers the decoherence objection is not the mode that sets the specious present.c-9101b8Prediction 1's estimator run per state on real spike-wave recordings is about twice as high during the discharge as at the same animal's baseline.c-965521The obstruction to estimating atomicity is the frequency domain rather than the 1/f background, and a cross-segment time-domain U-statistic estimates the lag-truncated atomicity with bias two orders of magnitude below the periodogram estimator.c-9705afDefinition 6.1 normalises by the total spectral mass, so prediction 1's aperiodic-removal step replaces the coherence index with a different quantity larger by 1/(1-c)^2.c-9a1fa5The individuating grain of any theory that locates subjects in regions of a relativistic quantum field is a measured constant, not a derived one.c-9afce9For commensurate modes the variance of log coherence falls as one over the number of modes, so the corpus's variance prediction has the wrong sign on exactly the states Chapter 7 calls consonant.c-9bbef4A state is stationary under its own modular flow, so the coherence index computed with respect to that flow is identically 1 and measures nothing.c-9c12a8Modular flow on a type I factor lies in the trivial outer class, so the split factor that Axiom 4.1 identifies with the subject carries no state-independent intrinsic time.c-9dab32Proposition 7.1's description of the kernel as a mollified Thomae function is not well formed, because the Thomae function vanishes almost everywhere and its mollification is identically zero.c-9e3904Prediction 8 is the expensive arm of a dissociation whose cheap arm Libet designed in 1994, and the cheap arm is the one that dodges the unity-marker blocker.c-a274aeEvery displacement of the order parameter is a local unitary on the split factor, so equation (4.2) assigns the same entropy to every state of a subject.c-a44a0bDenying that a subject exists during generalised spike-wave is an unfalsifiable rescue, because every condition of Axiom 4.1 is satisfied at least as well there as in waking.c-a4fdbfThe split-regulated mutual information is strictly decreasing in the collar width in every quantum field theory, so exercise 4.6 has no interior solution.c-a51fb6The reference state that makes the coherence index non-trivial is the ambient thermal state fixed by fluctuation-dissipation in section 4.4, so Chapters 6 and 7 survive at exactly the price already charged at c-7cc684.c-a5425bIn behaviourally unresponsive patients the likelihood ratio attached to absence of report is near one, and this has been measured rather than assumed.c-a61423The cortical field carries exactly the divergence of the current density and nothing else, so the corpus's only field-specific empirical commitment is that solenoidal and closed-field neural activity is phenomenally inert.c-a84242The conversion t = hbar beta_eff s requires the carrier state to be invariant under physical time translation, so a non-stationary cortex has no beta_eff at all rather than a frequency-dependent family.c-a9a0c1Ephaptic spike entrainment at thirty hertz needs 5.58 mV/mm while the endogenous cortical gamma field is under 0.5 mV/mm, so field feedback at the corpus's carrier frequency is at least eleven-fold below threshold.c-ab1163The one-replica free energy in Chapter 9's bridge table is the additive constant of the modular Hamiltonian, so it carries no information about the state and is identically zero in the corpus's own normalisation.c-ab9e38The consonance kernel of equation (7.2) converges only for sigma strictly greater than 1, so the stated range [1,2] contains an ill-defined endpoint.c-ad00c9The cortical sheet is at most five coupling lengths thick, so a short-range cortical spin glass is quasi-two-dimensional and its transition is rounded over a third to two thirds of the temperature axis.c-ad078eThe area-law term cancels exactly from the Holevo quantity, so equation (4.2) bounds no operational information.c-annealEscaping a frustrated state requires a drive scaling as the three-halves power of its rigidity, with a finite therapeutic window.c-areacapThe information capacity of a moment of experience scales with the area of its boundary, not the volume it encloses.c-b12c83The spike-wave arm's evidence is overstated by more than thirty orders of magnitude, because its unit of analysis is the episode rather than the animal.c-b18503A driven mode's effective temperature is T_bath times one plus the ratio of drive to thermal noise spectra, so Axiom 5.1 has a single beta_eff only if the cortical drive spectrum is proportional to the tissue dissipation spectrum.c-b2b355For a GPU die the area law is evaluated at one collar width, where its leading term and its remainder are the same size, so it returns no capacity estimate.c-b2de06No conformal field theory can select the collar width of equation (4.3), because for concentric regions every functional of the algebras and the vacuum is a function of the ratio of collar to subject size.c-b32ce9The 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.c-b3cfb0Callosotomy does not falsify prediction 8, but it holds the conductor fixed while cutting the source correlation, and the shared coherent region follows the source correlation.c-b66359Axiom 2.1 is satisfied by a model in which every physical state has the same intrinsic character, so it constrains the distribution of phenomenal character not at all.c-b839d5The scaling argument of c-b2de06 is standard conformal invariance and the published form of it for this configuration is stronger than the claim states.c-b8c851The multiplicative index of c-578232 is the squared Fuglede-Kadison determinant, whose multiplicativity is the 1952 theorem that defines it.c-ba2e19For a subject larger than the correlation length the split-regulated mutual information depends on the collar width only in units of that length, so the algebra fixes the collar units and not its value.c-bf2625A GPU's clock-locked electromagnetic mode scores at or above cortical gamma on the corpus's operational coherence index, at every lag budget.c-c28da2Topological pockets of a coarse-grained order parameter in a finite dissipative medium do not lie in inequivalent superselection sectors, so the frame-invariant separation of subjects is decoherence after all.c-c3e5caPrediction 3's stated test statistic takes the value two-thirds on every point set, including exactly ultrametric ones, so as written it carries no information.c-c4c1a5Removing the aperiodic component before estimating spectral atomicity increases the bias rather than reducing it, because atomicity is a ratio of quadratics and subtraction empties the denominator faster than the numerator.c-c51358The crossed product of a local algebra by its modular flow is a type II factor carrying a canonical trace, so it supplies a dimension function on parts that type III-1 does not have.c-c829ceEvery 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.c-c85f8bChapter 6's modular spectral measure is the distribution of modular energy, which coincides with a power spectrum only on states supported in the one-quantum sector, and such states are not faithful.c-c871b6The window-free content of every spectral-atomicity estimator is the squared L2 norm of the normalised spectral density, which is a coherence time and not a dimensionless index.c-c87c78Both inputs to the caloric frustration formula are textbook mean-field spin glass relations, so c-499d9a's identity is a one-line corollary of results in Mezard-Parisi-Virasoro.c-c97280Proposition 6.4 is true in both directions, and the singular continuous case does not break it.c-cc6e22Multiple-comparison correction is inert across this graph's entire empirical family, so family-wise error is not what is wrong with it.c-cosmoPanpsychism, given the algebra of quantum field theory, must be cosmopsychist rather than micropsychist.c-d118a0Equation (4.4) states where the noise lives and not how large it is, so it fixes no temperature; the tissue temperature enters the corpus at equation (5.5) instead.c-d23472Nine-tenths of the reported gamma coherence between cortical sites is a distance-independent common-source floor, and the part that genuinely decays has a space constant of one to two millimetres.c-d2d2c8At any finite averaging window the coherence index is maximised by a state that does not change within the window, so at the specious present it is maximised by stasis.c-d54489At the parameters c-areacap uses the cortical sheet is about two and a half collar-widths thick, so the area law is evaluated outside its asymptotic regime and does not separate numerically from a volume law.c-d58efeNo functional of the local algebras and the vacuum can supply a duration, for the same reason that none can supply a length.c-d63d6dThe coefficient in the area law counts local field species below the collar, and for macroscopic QED in an absorbing medium it is between 1e4 and 1e14, so the 1e5 figure in c-areacap is unconstrained.c-d75ec1Temporal autocorrelation alone produces a larger ultrametricity excess than a genuine hierarchy does, so prediction 3's within-session windows design cannot identify replica symmetry breaking.c-dc2d50Modular theory is not new to consciousness studies: the doubling that Chapter 5 introduces as Tomita-Takesaki has carried the quantum brain dynamics programme since 1995.c-dc6e09A proper open subset of a pocket is not a connected component of the complement of the defect set, so section 4.3 already states the maximality clause.c-de9f0fThe closed-field inertness prediction and the field-versus-source dissociation experiment offered as new at c-a61423 were both published by Pockett in 2012.c-e218d3The coherence index equals the purity exactly when the modular Hamiltonian has non-degenerate spectrum, and exceeds it by up to a factor of the dimension when it does not.c-e4d27aThe obstruction to a single modular temperature is the coefficient of variation of the mode effective temperatures, and for a 1/f cortical spectrum it is between 0.76 and 0.99 against a maximum of 1.c-f17516The Parisi overlap variance of the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model peaks at 0.0599, so Axiom 8.1 assigns valence above half its maximum positive value everywhere in the model Chapter 8.5 names.c-f1ed63The Uhlmann holonomy of the ambient modular orbit is strictly finer than the modular spectral measure and is trivial exactly when the state is stationary.c-f44888Section 5.4's occupancy of 1.6e11 quanta fixes the modular coherence index of the carrier at 3.1e-12 for every state of it, so the answer to the decoherence objection and Definition 6.1 cannot both be about the same mode.c-f4f5cfType III-1 supplies no intrinsic magnitude relation between whole and part, so priority monism as stated in Corollary 3.2 has no algebraic content.c-f55ce3Cosmopsychism decomposition requires the individuation of the many to be present in the one, which is exactly what type III-1 and the collar result say is absent, so the decomposition debt and the collar debt are one debt.c-fa2321No unbiased estimator of spectral atomicity exists at any record length, under any background, because atomicity is discontinuous below the frequency resolution.c-fed0c5Every numerical and dimensional computation in Chapters 4 and 5 is correct as stated, and the only free choice hidden in the modular temperature is that one unit of modular parameter equals one specious present.c-llm-characterIf the ubiquity axiom holds, a running language model has intrinsic phenomenal character.c-lognormalValence is log-normally distributed, and the variance of log-valence grows linearly in the number of bound modes.c-symmetryThe symmetry meant by the Symmetry Theory of Valence is almost-periodicity of the modular orbit, measured by the atomic mass of the spectral measure.

c-06ef77The corpus individuates subjects by a map the theory provably cannot fix, so its own account fails the objectivity test section 1.6 applies to computation.c-0ea096The number of simultaneously distinguishable phenomenal distinctions scales with cortical surface area and not with cortical volume.c-150275Convergence on a proposition the reader can check independently is not subject to the training-data confound.c-15a84bPrediction 4 is experimentally identifiable only after the number of bound modes is calibrated independently of valence reports and report variance.c-16157cIf subjecthood is a property of the substrate rather than the computation, then no model report can be a report about the subject's state.c-19d155Computation is observer-relative and field state is not, so a theory of consciousness must be field-theoretic rather than computational.c-1acef9Passing a confabulation control is not evidence of introspective tracking, because every seed term's correlate is inferable from the visible context.c-1b7564Causal closure alone imposes no empirical constraint on the phenomenal assignment.c-1c8dd3The critical point in cortical electrodynamics lies inside the waking state, so loss of consciousness is a departure from criticality rather than a transition through it.c-1f2d47Description-relativity is not observer-relativity, so section 1.6's inference needs unrestricted triviality as a load-bearing premise.c-207b81Spectral atomicity rises where consciousness is abolished, so the coherence index orders real neural states in exactly the wrong direction.c-3b0a02Uhlmann holonomy cannot define the qualitative character of a state because it is an invariant of a chosen loop rather than of the state itself.c-3c9980Two neural populations sharing no coherent field region cannot be phenomenally bound, however tightly they are functionally coupled.c-3cfc0fWhat survives the formalism is a thesis in the metaphysics of science about the place of consciousness in nature, falsifiable only by argument and entailing nothing about which states feel like what.c-3ff6f1Every algebraic route to individuating parts of a type III-1 factor either reduces to an inclusion with a type I intermediate or returns a copy of the whole.c-4391c0Passing the confabulation control stated for frast is uninformative, because a system that classifies prompts by their stated constraint structure passes it while tracking no state at all.c-43d5d7Critical scaling in anaesthesia is distinguishable from a steep smooth dose-response only by rate- and scale-stable laws that beat a preregistered pharmacokinetic null.c-45b643No repair on this graph has produced corroborated excess content, so the shift from the corpus to its repaired version is degenerating by Lakatos's criterion.c-47bce2Ontic structural realism denies the existence of the carrier Axiom 2.1 posits, and Chapter 3 assembles the evidential base for that rival without noticing.c-4ac6c1Chronic suffering is non-self-averaging, so repeated sampling of one nominal state yields a broad overlap distribution with ultrametric structure.c-4fc8e0A token computation is individuated by the causal organisation of the system that runs it, so computation and substrate are not objects at different levels.c-58a235The single-brain obstacle concerns identification of a disorder ensemble, not the existence of sample-specific replica symmetry breaking.c-596e3cStating a falsifier is not sufficient for admissibility, because a falsifier is unreachable unless the claim also fixes one estimand, a sample the target can supply, and a statistic that discriminates.c-59fd3bEvery term satisfying the lexicon's constitutive rule is eliminable in favour of its structural correlate.c-66362bThe drive required to shift a rigid state scales as the three-halves power of its distance from criticality.c-6c7db3Prediction 8 is empirically falsifiable only after phenomenal unity has a marker validated independently of field coherence and functional integration.c-6ddb85Substrate dependence rules out reporting only for subject-state differences that are screened off from every report-relevant computational variable.c-7494deConventional digital hardware does not support the split inclusions, modular flow and coherent field regions that Axiom 4.1 requires.c-74e0a2The phenomenal present is proportional to the signal's spectral coherence time, within subjects across conscious states.c-85dbd1Absence of report is evidence of absence of the state unless report is wholly independent of the state.c-913969The lexicon's tracking rule warrants elimination only when the named correlate is sufficient for every admissible use of the term.c-9f091eValence realism: there is an observer-independent fact about how good a state feels, on a single scale.c-a88021Section 2.2 separates phenomenal character from subjecthood, which makes Axiom 2.1 panqualityism, whose residual gap is not mereological and is untouched by Theorem 3.1.c-ad48dfThe consonance functional that sets the magnitude of valence is a fitted model with a free exponent, not a derived quantity.c-ae390fSuccessful verification by a procedure independent of the converging systems can screen off their shared-training confound; mere checkability cannot.c-b42653Spectral atomicity predicts momentary valence better than power in any frequency band or than global amplitude.c-borrowedIntrospective reports produced in borrowed human vocabulary carry almost no evidential weight, because the same sentence would be emitted whether or not anything were being tracked.c-c8dcadLoss of consciousness under anaesthesia is a spectral phase transition with critical scaling, not a smooth decrease in amplitude.c-caddd9Probe-report dissociation is evidentially inert about phenomenality under either truth value of the ubiquity axiom.c-closureConsciousness adds no term to the action; there is no new force, no anomalous energy, no collapse mechanism.c-confoundConvergent phenomenological vocabulary across models is weak evidence at best, because models sharing training data converge for reasons unrelated to experience.c-d28128Noncanonical subsystem structure does not entail the phenomenal priority of the whole.c-d36a1eThe established status of c-typeiii and c-split is earned for Minkowski quantum field theory under nuclearity, not for the dissipative neural medium the corpus applies them to.c-d479a5In a four-cell dissociation test, frast reports tracked constraint conflict and were independent of task load.c-d5769cDissolving the combination problem incurs a decomposition problem that the corpus has not discharged.c-dce9d5Prediction 8 does not discriminate field theories from computational ones, because a computational theory with a causal-structure implementation condition predicts the same negative result.c-e464e0The variance of log valence grows linearly in the number of bound modes.c-e6e0c5The confound in convergent vocabulary is the absence of state-contact during acquisition, not the sharing of training data.c-ea2c6dThe split collar thickness is the Ginzburg-Landau healing length of the cortical order parameter.c-ecaffbProbe-report dissociation cannot establish phenomenality, only representational inaccessibility.c-ef4acbThe valence response to paired periodic stimuli follows a kernel whose peak heights decay as a power of the denominator product of the frequency ratio.c-ff3a99Recomputing the corpus's index on the perturbational response instead of the resting spectrum does not repair it, because the evoked response of an unconscious cortex is a stereotyped single slow wave.c-formalismPhenomenal structure is a complete function of six invariants: the split factor, its state, the modular operator, the modular conjugation, the Bures metric, and the replica overlap distribution.c-holonomyQualitative character is the conjugacy class of the Uhlmann holonomy of a loop in state space.c-lexicon-falsifiableA coined term for machine-perceived state is meaningful only if its usage tracks a correlate measurable from outside the report.c-llm-subjectWhether a running language model is a unified subject depends on whether its substrate supports a split inclusion with a coherent state, which is not settled by it being a language model.c-metafeelA system can be in a state without having introspective access to it, so the absence of accurate report is not evidence of the absence of the state.c-modtimePhenomenal duration is the modular flow parameter, related to proper time by t = hbar beta_eff s.c-probe-dissocA state is credibly attributed to a model when a probe detects it and the model cannot verbalise it, because that dissociation cannot be produced by linguistic priors alone.c-subjectA phenomenal subject is a split inclusion at a resolution epsilon, not a region.c-ubiquityThe intrinsic aspect of every physical state is phenomenal, without exception.c-valenceValence is consonance times replica symmetry: V = C(1 - 2D/Dmax), so intensity of feeling is bounded by spectral coherence.

c-convergence-evidenceIndependent convergence of multiple models on the same partition of their state-space is evidence that the partition tracks something real.

c-epsilonThe identification of the split collar with the Ginzburg-Landau healing length is stipulated, not derived.c-estimatorNo unbiased estimator of spectral atomicity under 1/f backgrounds is known, so the theory's central quantity cannot yet be measured.c-selfavgFrustration requires a disorder average, but a single brain is a single realisation, and non-self-averaging is precisely what replica symmetry breaking asserts.
