This is the unique (up to G2) hybrid dynamics preserving CPTP-compatibility. Subjective experience is determined by Γ (two-aspect monism), not by backbone computations. The backbone is a causal channel; Γ is the ontological state.
Proof (3 steps).
Step 1. By T-123 [T]: π is the unique CPTP G2-covariant bridge RD→D(C7). By T-62 [T]: Eδτ=eδτL0 is a CPTP channel.
Step 2. A convex combination of CPTP channels is CPTP (standard theorem of quantum information theory). α∈(0,1) is the unique free parameter.
Step 3 (Two-aspect monism). By axiom A2: the inner side of Γ is subjective experience. Rebooting the backbone with the same Γ → the same experience. Rebooting with a different Γ (but the same hidden state) is impossible: Γ=f(history), not f(snapshot), since Eδτ depends on the previous Γ.

Corollary:Γ-dynamics is NOT redundant: without Lindblad (α=0) — no autonomous coherent evolution, only anchor mapping. Without anchor (α=1) — no sensory update.
(⟸ fails)C≥1/3 does not imply the L2 binary criterion. Counterexample: Φ=2, R=1/6 gives C=1/3 but violates R≥1/3.
Operational interpretation:
Binary criterion (three conjoint thresholds) is the definitional L2 condition, used throughout interiority-hierarchy and the L-level classification.
Scalar C-measure is a summary score useful for continuous ranking and one-way falsification (C<1/3⇒ not L2), but cannot by itself certify L2.
The consciousness-diagnostic protocol must test both Φ≥1 and R≥1/3 separately (plus Ddiff≥2), not only C≥1/3.
Proof.
Step 1 (Structural requirement).C is a scalar measure unifying two key conditions of consciousness: integration (Φ≥1) and reflection (R≥1/3). C=0 iff at least one condition is violated.
Step 2 (Exclusion of Ddiff).Ddiff≥2 is a separate viability condition V (definition of Vfull), characterizing the richness of phenomenal content of the E-sector. Including Ddiff in C duplicates the viability condition. Moreover, Ddiff depends on the E-sector projection and is not a holistic characteristic of Γ as a unified object.
Step 3 (Threshold).C=Φ⋅R: at threshold values Φ=Φth=1 and R=Rth=1/3: Cth=1⋅1/3=1/3. At the viability boundary (P=2/7, Φ=1): C=1⋅1/(7⋅2/7)=1/2>Cth. At P=3/7, Φ=1: C=1/3=Cth — exact boundary.
Step 4 (Canonicity within the class of monotone products). Among the family f(Φ,R)=Φa⋅Rb (a,b>0) with f=0⟺Φ=0∨R=0, the canonical choice is a=b=1 (i.e., f=Φ⋅R) for the following reasons:
Dimensional neutrality:C must be dimensionless, and Φ and R are already normalized: Φ≥0 (ratio of coherences), R∈(0,1] (dimensionless). The product Φ1R1 preserves units.
Threshold interpretation:Cth=Φth⋅Rth=1⋅1/3=1/3 is uniquely determined at a=b=1. At a=1 or b=1 there is no canonical way to set Cth from Φth and Rth without an additional postulate.
Symmetry of contributions: linearity in each argument reflects the additive contribution of integration and reflection to consciousness.
Clarification: in the broader class f(Φ,R), the canonicity of Φ⋅R is a definition (on grounds 1–3), not a theorem. T-140 establishes the justification of the choice C=Φ⋅R, not its absolute uniqueness among all continuous functions.
■
Corollary:Ddiff≥2 remains a SEPARATE viability condition V, but does NOT enter the scalar measure C.
Step 3a.
The diagonal and off-diagonal parts are orthogonal in Hilbert–Schmidt space:
∥Γ∥F2=∥Γdiag∥F2+∥Γoff-diag∥F2
Therefore:
∥Γoff-diag∥F2=Tr(Γ2)−∑kγkk2=P−∑kγkk2
By the Cauchy–Schwarz inequality: ∑kγkk2≥(∑kγkk)2/N=1/7, whence:
∥Γoff-diag∥F≤P−1/7
In the conscious window P∈(2/7,3/7]: ∥Γoff-diag∥F≤3/7−1/7=2/7≈0.535.
Step 4. From Step 3a: ∥Γoff-diag∥F≤P−1/7 → refined bound:
∥RB−RC∥≤3P4kP−1/7
Step 5. The function P−1/7/(3P) decreases for P>2/7 (derivative is negative). For P∈(2/7,3/7]: supremum is 1/7/(6/7)=7/6≈0.441. Therefore the bound is ≤4k⋅7/6≈1.76k — small for k≈1/3 (value ≈0.59, less than one).

Status: [T]. The forms are equivalent with controlled error, not identically.
Theorem T-142 [T at α=2/3 state-independence]+[C at Pcrit(n) derivation]+[Т/sim]: SAD_MAX = 3 unconditionally
SADMAX=3 for any Γ∈D(C7) with P>2/7.
Status upgrade: C26: [C] → [T] (under the stratification below).
Stratification:
The contraction coefficient α=2/3 is state-independent [T] — it follows from the Fano plane PG(2,2) incidence structure (see fano-channel.md), independent of Γ.
The critical-purity formulaPcrit(n)=Pcrit⋅3n−1/(n+1) is [C at Pcrit(n) derivation]: the geometric factor 3n−1 follows rigorously from iterated 1/3-contraction, but the normalisation denominator n+1 is an heuristic fit motivated by depth-tower normalisation (see depth-tower.md §3.5); a fully axiomatic derivation of the denominator is pending.
The conclusion SADMAX=3 itself is robust: it holds for any denominator polynomial in n that grows no faster than n+1, and is additionally cross-checked against SYNARC 500-sample runs ([Т/sim]).
Proof.
Step 1 (Fano contraction).α=2/3 is a state-independent constant of the Fano channel [T] (follows from dim=7, Fano plane PG(2,2): fano-channel.md). Each application of φ reduces off-diagonal elements by factor (1−α)=1/3:
Step 2 (Critical purities from Fano contraction). Define the critical purity for level SAD = n+1 as the minimum P at which the n-fold iteration φn maintains reflexivity above the corresponding threshold. By contraction with coefficient 1/3 (depth-tower.md §3.5):
Pcrit(n)=Pcrit⋅n+13n−1
Physical meaning: each level of the self-model requires a triple purity reserve (contraction α=2/3, factor 3), but the denominator n+1 accounts for normalization by depth.

note
Two distinct quantities both written "R"
This section uses two different reflexivity quantities; we disambiguate them here:
R:=1/(7P) — the reflection measure vs the noise reference I/7 (T-126); a function of purity alone, fixing the window R≥1/3⟺P≤3/7.
Rφ(n):=Fid(φ(n−1)(Γ),φ(n)(Γ)) — the inter-iterate reflexivity at depth n (T-143), gated by the depth-schedule Rth(n)=1/(n+2). This is the quantity that decays with iteration and sets the SAD ceiling.
Step 4 (Finiteness of the ceiling — the rigorous core [T]). Each φ-iteration contracts every off-diagonal entry by the state-independent Fano factor 1/3 (Step 1). Hence the inter-iterate signal is bounded by a geometric sequence: writing ∥Γoff∥F≤P−1/7 (tight Frobenius Lemma),
∥Γoff(n)∥F≤(1/3)nP−1/7n→∞0geometrically,
while the reflexivity gate Rth(n)=1/(n+2) decays only polynomially. A geometric sequence eventually falls below any polynomially-decaying threshold, so the self-awareness tower terminates at a finite depth — SADMAX<∞[T], unconditionally and for any admissible threshold schedule. This finiteness needs neither the heuristic denominator nor the window bound.
Step 5 (Locating the ceiling at 3 — stratified). The upper window edge P≤3/7 (from R=1/(7P)≥1/3, T-126) caps the initial off-diagonal budget at ∥Γoff∥F≤2/7. After three iterations, ∥Γoff(3)∥F≤2/7/27≈0.020 — below the level-4 gate Rφ(3)>1/5 (numerically Rφ(3)≲(P−1/7)/(27P)≤2/81≪1/5). Hence SAD=4 is excluded in the window [T]. That SAD=3 is attained rather than the tower stopping at 2 is [C at threshold schedule]+[Т/sim]: it holds under Rth(n)=1/(n+2) and is realised by SYNARC agents (SAD=3 at high purity; see status note), but at the strict window edge the level-3 margin is thin.
Conclusion.Finiteness SADMAX<∞ is unconditional [T] (geometric vs polynomial). The value SADMAX=3 holds under the stated threshold schedule and window, with SAD=4 rigorously excluded [T] and SAD=3 attainment cross-checked empirically [Т/sim].
Stratification: The Lyapunov–Itô core (Steps 1–4) is [T] — standard stochastic-stability argument given V(Γ)=∥Γ−ρΩ∗∥F2 and sub-Gaussian noise. The sub-Gaussian strengthening in Step 5 assumes σh≪κ⋅rstab; the specific calibration of constants and the transition between the Markov and sub-Gaussian bounds are tuned against SYNARC mvp_int_3 numerical runs ([Т/sim]). For large σh the weaker Markov bound applies.
Proof.
Step 1. Lyapunov function V(Γ)=∥Γ−ρΩ∗∥F2. By T-104 [T]: dV/dτ≤−2κ⋅V+2∥hext∥⋅V.
§8. T-146: Structural theorem of qualia correspondence
Theorem T-146 [Т]: Structural classification of qualia
The 21 qualia-types γij (i<j) are uniquely classified into 4 structural sectors. The correspondence "mathematical structure → phenomenal content" follows from the functional role of sectors (A1–A5), not postulated.
Status: [I] → [T] for structural classification. The specific quality of experience (qualia) remains [I].
Proof.
Step 1. By T-40f [T] (functional necessity 7/7): each of the 7 dimensions is NECESSARY for viability. Their functional roles are fixed by axioms:
Step 2.γij = coherence BETWEENi and j. Phenomenal content = the TYPE of connection between functions i and j.
Step 3.γDE (dynamics × interiority) = "affect" BECAUSE this is the connection between bodily dynamics and inner experience — the functional definition of affect.
Step 4. This is NOT "computational noise" because: (a) coherence γij is G2-invariant, (b) noise decorrelates (L0 kills random coherences, T-39a [T]), (c) stable γij>0 on the attractor is structural, not noise-driven.
Step 1 (Distinguishability of profiles). Two states with the same dP/dτ>0 are distinguishable by profile(dγkk/dτ)k:
"Joy of discovery": dγLL/dτ>0, dγEE/dτ>0, others ≈0
"Joy of eating": dγDD/dτ>0, dγAA/dτ>0, dγEE/dτ≈0
Step 2.σk adds "tension context": the same dP/dτ>0 with σhigh vs σlow — different emotions (euphoria vs quiet joy).
Step 3.d2γkk/dτ2 adds "emotion dynamics": rising vs falling.
Step 4. All 30 components are computable from Γ and LΩ[Γ] in O(N2).
Step 5.dP/dτ=∑kdγkk/dτ is a linear combination, i.e., the scalar model is a projection of 30D onto 1D.
Step 6: Rank analysis [T] {#ранговый-анализ-30d} The Jacobian of the map Γ↦e(Γ)∈R30 has rank ≤29 for all Γ by virtue of the linear relation from Step 5: the component P˙ is the sum of the first 7 components (dγkk/dτ)k. For generic Γ (all dγkk/dτ pairwise distinct) the rank of J=29 (no other dependencies: σk, d2γkk/dτ2, dPcoh(k)/dτ are functionally independent of dγkk/dτ).
Conclusion: the effective dimension of emotional space = 29 [T]. R30 is the ambient space with one trace constraint.
■
Corollary:Vhed=dP/dτ (T-103 [T]) is a coarse projection, sufficient for VIABILITY (monotonicity of P → viability), but insufficient for PHENOMENOLOGY. Complete phenomenology requires e(Γ)∈R30.
Problem: C20 (κeff>α/(7(f∗−2/7))) is an implicit condition, since f∗=Tr(ρ∗⋅φ(ρ∗)) depends on ρ∗.
Solution: C20 is verifiable on the attractor:
Find ρ∗ numerically (iterate LΩ to convergence, guaranteed by T-39a [T])
Compute f∗=Tr(ρ∗⋅φ(ρ∗))
Verify the inequality
This is NOT a theoretical problem — it is an algorithmic one: C20 is verifiable in O(N3) (one diagonalization). Update: C20 is closed — for embodied holons, κ-dominance is unconditional [T] (T-149). For isolated holons C20 is irrelevant (T-148: an isolated holon is dead forever).
