Intent and Boundaries

This section establishes the interpretive perimeter of the Consciousness Substrate Model (CSM).

Before introducing assumptions, primitives, or architectures, the model explicitly defines what it is, what it is not, and how it should be read.

These boundaries are not disclaimers. They are structural constraints intended to preserve clarity, reproducibility, and responsible use.

Readers are encouraged to review this section before engaging with the rest of the model.
