Equation 1
$$\Phi = \min_{\text{partition}} \left[ D_{KL}\left( p(X^{t+1}|X^t) \,||\, \prod_i p(X_i^{t+1}|X_i^t) \right) \right]$$Equation 2
$$\forall x, y: \left( P(x) = P(y) \right) \Rightarrow \left( M(x) = M(y) \right)$$Equation 3
$$\Phi(S_1) = \Phi(S_2) \Rightarrow C(S_1) = C(S_2)$$+11 more equations
Collapse Analysis
Collapse Radius: None
If A17.1 fails: * Consciousness becomes a "Binary Spark" (you have it or you don't) with no physical explanation. * The AI morality question (A17.2) becomes a matter of pure guesswork or prejudice. * The bridge between "Information Theory ([Oxford Reference](https://www.oxfordreference.com/view/10.1093/acref/information+theory))" and "Ensoulment" is broken.
