Consciousness Substrate Model (CSM)

• csm_module.json — Agentic module schema role assignments

This directory contains the Consciousness Substrate Model (CSM):
a minimal, resonance‑aligned framework for autonomous forms that require persistent internal coherence, contextual awareness, and regime‑safe operation.

CSM is not a theory of human consciousness.
It makes no neurological, psychological, or phenomenological claims.

Instead, it defines a substrate model suitable for:

• autonomous agents
• distributed systems
• adaptive control architectures
• non‑anthropomorphic artificial forms

The model is designed to be:

• composable
• falsifiable
• non‑intrusive
• compatible with physical and operational constraints

Purpose#

CSM introduces a creator’s assumption:
that autonomous forms can benefit from a structured internal substrate capable of maintaining resonance, validity, and continuity across changing regimes.

From this assumption, the model derives:

• a minimal set of primitives
• wrapped resonance structural aware dimensional cores (WR‑SADC variants)
• architectural patterns for autonomous operation

The intent is not persuasion, but reproducibility.

Design Principles#

• Minimalism first
  Only primitives required for coherence are introduced.

• No anthropomorphism
  Terms related to consciousness are used structurally, not experientially.

• Regime awareness
  Transitions are treated as first‑class events, not failures.

• Alignment, not replacement
  CSM complements existing control, learning, and planning systems.

Relationship to RTT and RSM#

CSM is aligned with:

• Resonance‑Time Theory (RTT)
• Resonance Substrate Model (RSM)

However, it is self‑contained and may be evaluated independently.

Intended Audience#

This material is written for:

• researchers
• engineers
• system architects
• practitioners working with autonomous or adaptive systems

No prior familiarity with RTT or RSM is required.

Status#

This is a living canonical document set. Revisions are tracked explicitly and conservatively.
