CAIS Compliance Boundary v1.0 — Non-Derogable Standard

CAIS Compliance Boundary v1.0 — Non-Derogable Compliance Boundary Document Purpose:This document defines the non-negotiable compliance boundaries that determine whether a device or system may legitimately claim CAIS compliance and use the designation "Sal-Meter." This document does not provide implementation guidance, experimental protocols, clinical claims, optimization strategies, or application examples. Its sole function is boundary fixation. Key Constraints:- CAIS Layer-0: Mandatory iodine redox measurement (I⁻ → I₂ → I₃⁻ → I₅⁻)- CAIS Layer-1: Mandatory VCE, CRI, CFI output (0-1.0 normalized)- GSH/GSSG redox ratio detection required- OE/RE/EE framework compliance mandatory Non-Compliance Consequences:- Exclusion from "Sal-Meter" designation- Exclusion from CAIS compliance claim- Removal from SICS registry- Public non-compliance declaration Authority: Salpida Institute of Consciousness Science (SICS)License: Creative Commons Attribution–ShareAlike 4.0 International (CC BY-SA 4.0) 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. Implementation & Open Development Index (Non-Authoritative) For open development, competition participation, and non-authoritativeimplementation references only, see the public index repository below: https://github.com/salpida-foundation/sal-meter-competition This repository functions strictly as an implementation index andcoordination layer. It does not carry canonical, constitutional, orinterpretive authority, which remains fixed exclusively in theDOI-registered records listed above.
