Abstract
EGRIT V13 implements computational consciousness fields guided by Conscious Geometry Theory (CGT). This information-theoretic; information-geometry framework that currently has 155 predictions tested (152 validated, 3 falsified) and supports increasingly rich empirical and architectural claims. This paper takes the opposite tack: it documents what V13 explicitly does NOT demonstrate, what claims would require additional evidence beyond what is currently available, and where the gap between V13 and biological consciousness is largest. The intent is credibility-protection. By stating limits clearly and prominently, we make the survival of positive findings under adversarial scrutiny stronger, not weaker.
