Summary
AI-generated from the abstractHuman existence arises from the integration of two foundational principles: Sovereignty (F), representing self-awareness, will, and ethical capacity, and the Substrate (B), representing the material neural architecture and automated processing. Their optimal integration is expressed by the equation F ∩ B = 1. Neuro-behavioral dissociative states—such as somnambulism, sleep paralysis, lucid dreaming, and REM Sleep Behavior Disorder—demonstrate the functional independence of each principle. Consciousness (F) retains a distinct, sovereign character irreducible to algorithmic processing, offering a fresh argument in the existential debate on human nature. This work lays a foundation for applying this framework to AI ethics via a "Sovereign Veto Protocol" and proposes an integrated research field connecting neuroscience, philosophy of mind, and ethics.

Abstract
This study introduces the B-Bouzid Model as a novel framework addressing the mind-body problem. The model posits that human existence arises from the integration of two foundational principles: Sovereignty (F), representing self-awareness, will, and ethical capacity, and the Substrate (B), representing the material neural architecture and automated processing. Their optimal integration is expressed by the equation F ∩ B = 1. This paper analyzes neuro-behavioral dissociative states—such as somnambulism, sleep paralysis, lucid dreaming, and REM Sleep Behavior Disorder—as natural conditions that decisively demonstrate the functional independence of each principle. The findings indicate that consciousness (F) retains a distinct, sovereign character irreducible to algorithmic processing, offering a fresh argument in the existential debate on human nature. This work lays a foundation for applying this framework to AI ethics via a "Sovereign Veto Protocol" and proposes the formation of an integrated research field connecting neuroscience, philosophy of mind, and ethics.
