Consciousness — SPC-2
Current research status · SPC-2 · 20 September 2026
A candidate internal constitutive resolution under declared assumptions: certified realization and a selection doctrine support A0–A3, which specify awareness, perspective admission, lived content and nonbranching subject continuation. The finite completion theorem is conditional on these inputs. Realization selection, biological interpretation and empirical assessment remain open obligations; the publication reports no new neural-data validation. SPC-2, Version 2, supersedes the earlier Consciousness Field account.
Current publications
The current consciousness account
SPC-2 separates awareness, a localized subject, a lived scene and a person. Its admission law requires executable return and native predictive conditions. Its content law uses all admitted finite native continuations and checked predictive-fibre congruence. Its continuation law follows nonbranching process provenance.
Conditional finite result
Given certified realization, its selection doctrine and the stated A0–A3 premises, the finite construction assigns qualifying perspectives, their full endogenous predictive content and episode continuation. The result does not derive those inputs.
Realization and validation
Physical realization selection, robust biological interpretation and comparison with experience remain obligations. The monograph supplies no universal consciousness detector and does not certify current LLM sessions.
Version 2 supersedes the earlier Consciousness Field account. Its older fixed-point and EEG claims remain identifiable history; they are not empirical validation of SPC-2. Quantum publications supply physical antecedents and related reading, with their own assumptions.
Research protocol. Within Shadow Theory, a result on this problem enters the framework through a dedicated public paper or record containing its assumptions, domain of validity, method, mathematical or empirical support, and exact conclusion. This page defines the target and connects the work that bears on it.
