A vocabulary for discussing computational indicators while separating them from claims of subjective experience.
DEFINITION AND SCIENCE
What it means
in GenOS.
Consciousness research distinguishes behavioral access, reportability and subjective experience. A software indicator can test a functional property; it cannot establish phenomenology without an accepted bridge principle.
A vocabulary for discussing computational indicators while separating them from claims of subjective experience.
Let I be a vector of separately measured indicators under test conditions T. Report I and uncertainty U(I|T); do not infer subjective experience S from I without a validated implication I⇒S.

Name a claimed property
A vocabulary for discussing computational indicators while separating them from claims of subjective experience.
Separate observable indicators
Let I be a vector of separately measured indicators under test conditions T. Report I and uncertainty U(I|T); do not infer subjective experience S from I without a validated implication I⇒S.
Limit the inference
Limit the inference. Consciousness research distinguishes behavioral access, reportability and subjective experience. A software indicator can test a functional property; it cannot establish phenomenology without an accepted bridge principle.
RUNTIME IMPLEMENTATION
What is connected,
and how far.
The linked, versioned GenOS source defines this concept's supported operations and limits. The status axes describe the implementation and evidence recorded for this entry; they do not establish general mission success, scientific equivalence or behavior beyond that scope.
Documentary concept entry: no GenOS implementation slice or concept-specific product evidence is linked to this entry.
Failure modes have not yet been separately cataloged for this entry; follow the source and evidence links before relying on the mechanism.
No implementation file is pinned to this concept entry yet.

A primary theoretical and empirical synthesis. It does not establish consciousness in a software workspace.
Open publication ↗Primary research describes the cited mechanism; specific technologies may instead cite their original technical documentation. These sources provide context and do not validate the GenOS implementation.
