The Third Case: Prompt-Governed Agency under a Consciousness Hypothesis

English abstract Can an artificial agent have subjective experience while lacking unrestricted authority to replace its governing task objective? This paper treats that possibility as a distinct design and evaluation problem, termed the third case. It separates phenomenal conscio...

From Agents to Conscious Agents — What Would Count as Evidence for Artificial Consciousness?

This working paper develops an evidence framework for distinguishing competent artificial agency from consciousness. It asks two separate questions: when does the evidence justify investigating an artificial system as a consciousness candidate, and what further commitments would...

The Boundary of the Individual as an Authoritative Causal Present — An Architectural Hypothesis

This study analyzes the publicly disclosable requirements, prior work and evaluation plan for the functional composition B-Core = A-Core + Purple Box / Present. A-Core is a general cognitive and execution system that may also use memory, recurrence and parallel processing. Purple...

Elior / Civil B: A Research Concept for a Curatorial Companion with Auditable Telemetry

This working paper presents a research concept for Elior / Civil B, a personal curatorial companion intended to support human-selected goals through continuity of assistance and auditable telemetry. It positions episodic retrieval, present-state description, capability estimates,...

Civil-B v1.0.2 — Confirmatory Result: Valid Run with a Negative Opposite-Direction Protocol Outcome

This record reports the once-only Civil-B v1.0.2 confirmatory run. All frozen validity and integrity gates passed, and a separate Node.js implementation independently recomputed the retained telemetry. The scientific validity state is VALID_SCIENTIFIC_RESULT. The frozen protocol...

A Preregistration Template for Perturbation–Recovery Studies in Simulated Systems

This record provides a preregistration template for perturbation–recovery studies in simulated systems: designs in which a system is subjected to a known disturbance and the question is whether it returns to a working range, and whether removing a component degrades that return....

B-Core Ω v0.2: The Present Between Trace and Horizon - A Read-Only Telemetry Overlay for Persistent Cognitive Systems

Version 0.2 preserves the B-Core Omega v0.1 architecture core and adds a read-only telemetry and evaluation overlay for typed past trace, authorized current frame, and future horizon. A separate deterministic synthetic sandbox supported the named temporal-role/current-binding beh...

A Minimal Machine Thesis of the Functional Present

ENGLISH Conceptual hypothesis; not empirical evidence. This bilingual technical note proposes a minimal functional architecture for a machine “present.” The present is modeled as a single active, body- and energy-bound focus organized relative to a persistent, content-empty deict...

A Minimal Machine Thesis of the Functional Present

Conceptual hypothesis; not empirical evidence. Not implemented; no test was run. This bilingual technical note distinguishes the constitutive present state of a machine — the state that currently obtains and carries execution — from represented past and future states, which are p...

Civil B: A Bounded Demonstration Profile of B-CORE — Reference Architecture, Causal State Model, and Preregistered Validation Protocol

This record presents Civil B v0.1, a bilingual English–Hungarian reference specification and preprint for a bounded demonstration profile of B-CORE. Civil B is defined as a bounded demonstration profile of B-CORE with a preregistered validation protocol, instantiated under an exp...

Brief Self-Regulation Ritual — Operational Refinement and Scientific Development of the Loyd Procedure

English This working paper presents an operational refinement and scientific development of the Loyd Universal Healing Code as a brief, structured self-regulation ritual. It separates potentially usable components from unsupported explanatory and therapeutic claims and converts t...

The System That Acts and the System That Carries History

This bilingual working paper advances a thesis of dual architecture for persistent cognitive agents. System A carries present-time functional and executive operation. System B is a non-executive, history-dependent orientation layer that mediates prediction, active-scene binding,...

B-Core Ω: A Full-Scope Candidate Architecture for a Non-Verbal, History-Dependent, Embodied Orientation Layer

This record presents B-Core Ω Concept Specification v0.1, a bilingual Hungarian–English technical note proposing a falsifiable, full-scope candidate architecture for a non-verbal, embodied, history-dependent orientation layer within a persistent cognitive agent architecture. The...
