The Automensural Canopy: Evolved Sensory Integration, Architectural Calibration, and Conscious Continuation (Observer Frame Series IV)
Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research) July 18, 2026 James Johan Sebastian Allen
The paper introduces the Mensural Canopy and Automensural Canopy as systems-oriented extensions of the Pattern Field Theory Observer Frame Series. The Automensural Canopy is an integrated, continuously recalibrated organism-level architecture that keeps differentiated sensory, bodily, spatial, mnemonic, predictive, affective, and action-relative registrations locally operative while participating in a self-relative account of continuation. Four formation requirements are formalized: Functional Identity Preservation, Mensural Correspondence, Consequential Weighting, and Recalibrational Continuity.
