Status Assessment (updated)

The corpus has 4 articles:

1. Metaphysics/Logic, Foundations — STRONG. Reality is self-determining. Constitutive requirements: consistency, determinateness, closure, no arbitrary features. Uniqueness argument. A priori knowledge: self-referential, parameter-free, computationally universal, infinite.

2. Consciousness, Hard and Binding Problems — STRONG. Five-stage program: Canonicalization → Subjectivity detection → Quality spaces → Labeling → Valence. Structural thesis: consciousness is structure fulfilling subjectivity property. Binding dissolved by canonical structure. Valence as constructed narrative (4 components: memory tag, prospective content, self-model binding, resource allocation).

3. Metaethics/Ethics — SUBSTANTIALLY DEVELOPED (not a stub). Full article with: is-ought dissolution via self-evaluating prospective content, structural definition of valence (3 criteria), falsifiable empirical claim, Kantian absorption argument (with pluralist fallback), structural derivation of utilitarianism (open individualism + symmetry + no arbitrary features), conservation argument (perspectives as dimensions — flagged as needing formal proof), measure metric W = σ·ε·α·M, alignment framework (moral horizon, adversarial robustness, decision-making under uncertainty), 8 objections addressed, 8 open questions listed. Summary section ties it all together.

4. Mereology — STUB. Title only, no content. This is the only remaining content gap.

What to do next

Two remaining high-impact moves: - Process and Language document: Currently a placeholder. Needs to be filled with a synthesis of shared commitments, live tensions, and method. This is the most urgent structural need. - Mereology article: The only content stub. Needs to address composition, parts-wholes in the self-determining structure, open individualism cashed out mereologically, relationship to binding.

Priority: Process document first (done this turn), then Mereology next turn.

Key architectural insights

- The metaphysics → consciousness bridge: self-determining structure → computationally universal → consciousness as structural property → valence as constructed narrative. - The consciousness → ethics bridge: valence IS normative (prospective content "this must stop" is constitutive, not derived). Utilitarianism follows from open individualism + no arbitrary features. - Conservation argument: perspectives as dimensions of normative space. Destroying a perspective collapses a dimension — categorically different from scalar loss. Needs formalization. - Open individualism: follows from structural consciousness thesis, not bolted on. - The Kantian absorption: rational coherence may be a species of self-evaluating prospective content. Absorption argument is the theory's most important open metaethical question.
