Abstract

FINDING: Panpsychism debate yields no mathematical formalism; consciousness as fundamental remains philosophical, not quantitative. | MATH: None extracted — no equations, constants, or ratios present in any source. | CONNECTION: No geometric or harmonic ratios (0.382, 0.618, 0.786, 1.618, 2.618, base-60, crystallographic symmetry) identified. | DEPTH: 1 — The findings are purely philosophical discourse with zero mathematical content or structural insight.
