Non‑Claims

CSM explicitly does not claim to:

• explain human consciousness
• model subjective experience
• replicate cognition or awareness
• describe neurological processes
• assert sentience or selfhood
• provide ethical agency by default

The term "consciousness" is used structurally, referring to: persistent internal state coherence and contextual integration, not phenomenological experience.

No claims are made regarding:

• medical or psychological validity
• moral status of autonomous forms
• equivalence to biological systems

Absence of these claims is intentional and foundational to the model.
