Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research) June 12, 2026 Juza Minamikata
This paper defines consciousness within the second system of Kasei-Theory as the local readability condition under which distributed maintainability is readable as consciousness, but without interiority, subjectivity, self-awareness, cognition, experience, mental state, qualia, or any other traditional attribute. Consciousness does not involve an inner domain, subject, self-knowledge, cognition, or phenomenal experience. The theory prevents reduction to interiority or subjectivity and does not establish determinism, as fixation is not determination and constraint is not necessity. No interiority, subjectivity, self-awareness, cognition, mental state, or qualia are presupposed or introduced.
