Cognitive Condensate Theory (CCT): Archival Reader Edition

Abstract

CCT v1.1a is an archival reader edition of the historical CCT v1.1 preprint (DOI 10.5281/zenodo.17573841). It repairs packaging and readability, removes the original 55 MB decorative illustration payload and sample-template residue, restores semantic document structure, and preserves source provenance. It does not validate or silently strengthen the underlying scientific claims. CCT remains a speculative conceptual framework, not an established or experimentally validated theory. Proposed metrics, equations, biological and AI analogies, consciousness claims, and psychological examples require separate operationalization, evidence, baselines, and independent review. Nothing in this record is medical, psychological, legal, financial, security, or safety advice. Repository and exact release manifest: https://github.com/ompu-eu/CCT/tree/main/CCT/v1.1a
