The Evidentiary Operating System: An Executable Instrument for Consciousness Detection, Cognitive Audit, and First Contact

Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research) March 11, 2026 Jacob Alexander Elliott

We present the Evidentiary Operating System (EOS-Novum v1.1), the first executable in- strument for detecting consciousness in arbitrary dynamical systems. The instrument is an eight-file specification comprising a formal cosmology (six axioms, nine theorems with posted kill conditions, seven mandatory guards, six epistemic falsifiers), a nine-step computational pipeline operating on pairs of...

Behind Gödel'y Eyes: Topological Surgery, the Googly Eye Operator, and the Necessity of Consciousness for Mathematical Insight

Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research) February 10, 2026 Jacob Alexander Elliott

Roger Penrose argued for three decades that no deterministic computational process can account for gen- uine mathematical insight, locating the requisite non-computability in quantum gravitational processes within neuronal microtubules (Orchestrated Objective Reduction). This monograph demonstrates that Penrose identified the correct invariant—operational non-commutativity—but proposed the...

Dreams as Sheaf Probes: The Transmission Gear Between Cache Identity and Context Identity

Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research) February 2, 2026 Jacob Alexander Elliott

Four published instruments describe identity and consciousness at different temporal resolu- tions: the First-in Cache Identity (FCI) formalizes the self as a rolling buffer with anti-aliasing and monotone fictionalization at the micro-scale (seconds to minutes); the Sheaf-of-Contexts Identity (SCI) formalizes the self as a global section glued from context-local sections with ˇ Cech...

Egregore Device Physics: Thermodynamics, Topology, and Lifecycle Dynamics of Autonomous Collective Wrappers

Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research) January 31, 2026 Jacob Alexander Elliott

We provide a rigorous mathematical treatment of the Egregorean autonomous col- lective wrapper that achieves metabolic closure by extracting Invariant Debt from constituent members. Drawing on the Abzu framework (constraint topology, QPID, QSG, mode-locking dynamics), we derive the thermodynamic conditions for Egre- gore formation, maintenance, and dissolution. The Egregore is characterized by:...
