Experience without an external owner

The organization doing the interpreting is where the experience belongs

Constitution and realization do different work

A complete history locates an interpreting activity. Enacted scaffolding adds an explicit constitution: complete qualifying actual organization is the experience, including its character, rather than a mechanism delivering another experiential object to a separate owner [21,36].

For the nominated adult, the roles are actual reception or internal retrieval $D$, interpretation $I$, consolidation $C$, retention sufficient for use $M$, and actual uptake $U_A$. Uptake means participation in ongoing recognition, relating, appraisal, orientation or response. Dormant accessibility is insufficient. These roles may overlap and need no verbal acknowledgment. Later addressed retrieval $R_{\mathrm{later}}$ is an additional operation, not a universal condition of earlier experience.

Let $K(A,J)$ be the complete enactment over activity $J$, including bodily and evaluative implementation, source binding and relevant causal/developmental embedding. The selected branch is

$$\operatorname{Qual}_E(A,J)\Longrightarrow K(A,J)\equiv\text{the corresponding experience}.\tag{5}$$

The application begins with an independently justified experiencing embodied adult. It does not define qualification by success at the finite task, derive it from a universal experiential-contributor recipe or infer it from universal relational formation. The roles are necessary within this adult account, not an exhaustive test for every possible subject. Constitution is philosophical; whether the operations enter the person's actual activity is a realization question.

The positive motivation is to locate temporal differentiation in the activity that receives, retains and uses it. No second observer is needed to interpret a finished result. Binding can change temporal character without a sequence replayed before an inner spectator. Foundational awareness is not manufactured by successful computation; organization articulates localized experience within the ontology. A critic can accept the mechanisms and reject the constitutive identity. That dispute concerns constitution, not an unnamed final operation.

The projection $T(K)$ isolates source references and temporal roles. It is not a complete character map. Equal reports, bits or $T$ values do not establish equal complete experience. A finite transducer implements a component without thereby becoming a person. The embodied adult is the nominated boundary; neither an output register nor nested descriptions select subjects.

The present can contain a predecessor without making its source simultaneous

A retained contribution can function as predecessor, a newly received contribution as live input, and expectation as anticipated continuation. These are modes at one occasion, not simultaneous source events:

$$\operatorname{available}(r_C,\tau)\land\operatorname{available}(\ell_E,\tau) \quad\text{is compatible with}\quad\widehat C\prec_{\mathrm{represented}}\widehat E.$$

The carriers are jointly usable while their represented sources remain ordered. A transition can be taken up before the melody finishes. Anticipation is current organization concerning a possible continuation, not a received future signal. Distinct histories can share the same local prefix and expectation before different later notes arrive.

A succession of physical states, an order record, successive experiences and an experience of succession remain distinct. A feature bag omits roles. An ordered archive can be unused or assigned to another stream. Delivery, retention, binding and actual use must therefore be followed together. The quantitative construction below does this for one directed-feature task, rather than reading all phenomenal character from an accuracy score.

Selection need not be illusion. The causal past contains influences never intercepted or retained. Forgetting can shrink the current information algebra; an ideal cumulative transcript is a separate resource. Reversibility and proper-time order alone do not establish the past/future record asymmetry. Ready preparation, localized writing routes, retention and a specified ensemble do that work in the models. Independently prepared future features do not enter through free correlated context. Reversing time changes preparation, rather than making the same ready experiment write an ordinary future record.

Causal ancestry is not all present content. Once an earlier complete enactment occurs within the qualifying adult, continuations preserving that organization preserve its occurrence under the identity. Later loss changes later access. Later reconstruction is a new construction concerning the earlier event. This common-prefix invariance concerns complete relevant organization, not merely a task code.

Bodily indexing does not require psychological appropriation

Locating a sound relative to a body, preserving bodily function and using learned discrimination need not organize every event around an independently existing owner. "This is happening to me" adds a self-story relation. It is not identical to every useful bodily index.

The account permits hearing without that appropriation when the requisite organization remains. This need not leave complete character unchanged, because appropriation can alter experience. It says that removing one self-related organization does not automatically remove sensation, retention, discrimination or uptake. No empirical test for total absence of appropriation follows from the conceptual distinction.

Remembered identity and anticipated personal futures can amplify passage. The retained/live/anticipated differentiation does not itself require an owner moving between time locations. Nor does awareness need to scan the block. A scanner would relocate, rather than discharge, the explanatory demand for its present position.

Admission and developmental scope

Published SPC-2 assigns perspective admission, complete predictive content and process continuation through A1–A3 on a certified realization [35,§§17.2–17.4]. Equivalence to enacted scaffolding or actual uptake has not been proved. Developed reasoning and language matter to the adult conceptual example; structured discrimination and inference are wider predicates. Interpretation does not require defining or reporting experience. Preconceptual experiential organization is not excluded by the adult case.

A stronger historical rule requires an already experiencing formative contributor to every experience. The formative-dependence appendix separates its necessary-only form from a biconditional recipe. Both permit empty admission and exclude nonempty assignments on well-founded experiential ancestry; only the biconditional receives the finite fixed-point classification. A nonrecursive variant instead requires actual relational formation without admitting every contributor as already experiencing. Choosing that variant changes a premise; it is not an established universal law or replacement A1.

The temporal-passage paper retains an experiencing-contributor condition in its specified framework. This paper's adult application uses independent qualification and the actual formative history. These scopes are preserved here rather than silently merged. The whole-field account likewise develops within-unit constitution after qualification.

Hartle's information-gathering systems and Ismael's embedded perspectives already explain memory, prediction and presentation [10,12,13]. Shadow's additions are the exact target/completion question, physically attaining completion at an occasion, and an explicit experiential constitution. The resource result can be confirmed while identity, boundary or Ground-awareness remains disputed.
