🧠 Substrate Mind Science

• SMS_module.json — Agentic module schema role assignments

A structural, substrate‑agnostic model for mapping cognition, psychological domains, and mind‑level invariants.

The Substrate Mind Science (SMS) model provides a unified structural grammar for describing how minds organize, process, stabilize, and transform information across psychological, cognitive, and developmental layers. It is designed to be compatible with the broader TriadicFrameworks substrate family, including the Governance Substrate Model (GSM) and Media Substrate Model (MSM), while remaining grounded in established psychological science.

This directory contains the canonical SMS documents, schemas, and conceptual layers.

📚 What This Substrate Covers#

The SMS substrate organizes mind‑science into structural components that can be analyzed, compared, or integrated with other substrates. It includes:

• Core definitions and scope of psychology
• Major research domains
• Diagnostic systems
• Treatment modalities
• Theoretical frameworks
• Subspecialties and applied fields
• Historical layers and controversies
• Schemas and substrate maps
• Minimal and legacy mind substrates
• Conscious transfer substrate (experimental)

These files are visible in the directory you’re viewing on GitHub github.com.

🧩 Structural Philosophy#

The SMS substrate treats mind science as a layered system:

• Foundational layer — definitions, scope, and conceptual primitives
• Diagnostic layer — classification, criteria, and system boundaries
• Treatment layer — modalities, mechanisms, and evidence bases
• Theoretical layer — schools of thought and explanatory models
• Applied layer — subspecialties and real‑world practice
• Research layer — domains, methods, and epistemic constraints
• Historical layer — lineage, evolution, and paradigm shifts
• Critical layer — debates, controversies, and limitations

This layered approach mirrors the substrate logic used in GSM and MSM, enabling cross‑substrate coherence.

🗺️ Key Documents in This Directory#

A few highlights from the files visible in your tab:

• Minimal_Mind_Substrate_v1.md — the smallest viable structural model of mind
• Legacy_Mind_Narratives_v1.md — inherited cognitive and cultural patterns
• Conscious_Transfer_Substrate_Map_v1.md — mapping conscious processes
• Conscious_Transfer_Substrate_Schema_v1.md — schema for conscious transfer modeling
• Section_A–I files — structured psychology overview (scope, methods, diagnostics, treatment, theory, subspecialties, research, ethics, history, controversies)
• ct_example_minimal.json.md — example JSON substrate for conscious transfer

These documents form the backbone of the SMS substrate and are intended to be read together.

🎯 Purpose of the Substrate#

The SMS substrate aims to:

• Provide a coherent structural map of mind science
• Enable cross‑disciplinary integration with governance, media, and cognitive substrates
• Support educational clarity for students and practitioners
• Offer a stable reference model for future extensions, simulations, and analyzers
• Preserve the lineage and evolution of psychological frameworks

It is not a clinical tool, diagnostic system, or therapeutic guide. It is a structural substrate—a map of conceptual terrain.

🔧 Relationship to Other Substrates#

The SMS substrate is designed to interoperate with:

• GSM — governance, institutions, and collective behavior
• MSM — media physics, attention, and narrative systems
• CTS — conscious transfer substrate (experimental cognitive modeling)

Together, these form a multi‑substrate ecosystem capable of describing complex human and societal systems.
