Sal-Meter Canonical Definition v1.0

This document fixes and declares the sole canonical definition of “Sal-Meter”. Sal-Meter is defined as a CAIS-compliant device that measures Ordered Energy (OE),Relational Energy (RE), and Entropic Energy (EE) through aptamer–iodine redox sensing,and outputs the indices VCE, CRI, and CFI. This document is non-derogable and authoritative.No alternative, parallel, proprietary, or modified definition of Sal-Meter is permitted. This record does not provide implementation guidance, experimental results,clinical claims, or application scenarios.Its sole function is definition fixation. All interpretive and governance authority is anchored to theSalpida Institute of Consciousness Science (SICS). License: Creative Commons Attribution–ShareAlike 4.0 International Companion Canonical Documents (February 2026 Update) This document is constitutionally and non-derogably bound to the followingDOI-registered canonical records, which together define the completeSal-Meter / CAIS constitutional, technical, and governance framework: - Sal-Meter Canonical Definition v1.0 DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.18452075 — Defines what constitutes a valid Sal-Meter device - CAIS Compliance Boundary v1.0 — Non-Derogable Standard DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.18452269 — Specifies mandatory versus optional technical constraints - Sal-Meter Open Competition Charter v1.0 DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.18452453 — Establishes multi-team development governance and validation protocols - Sal-Meter Negative Definition v1.0 DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.18452694 — Defines exclusionary boundaries and prevents misuse These records collectively constitute the authoritative and irreversiblereference set for CAIS-compatible consciousness measurement systems.
