Layers 2, 3 and 5

Life is not an exception to physics. It is physics becoming aware of itself.

Consciousness is proposed as a graded physical property. It is present in some degree wherever organised, self-sustaining structure exists, and measurable on one continuous scale using the same substrate methodology as the rest of the programme.

The Index Read P20 and P21

The chain

P20

Sensing channels

Forces as hierarchical sensing channels of the Spaticle field. Three conditions. One accessibility law.

P21

Consciousness Index

A formal scalar. Applied to 100 species. Extends to artificial systems on the same formula.

Vijay's Law

Everything in the universe is alive and conscious, in degree. Never a binary. Never zero.

Conscious drive

Evolution as directed movement toward higher CI, not undirected mutation plus selection alone.

Scientific spirituality

Spiritual and mystical experience addressed as cellular civilisation, with no new assumptions.

Three conditions of sensing

Structural coupling

A specific configuration that can couple to a channel.

Information-specific state change

The response is signal-specific, not a generic jolt.

State persistence

The change is held long enough to integrate with other changes.
