Architecture of Primary Synthetic Consciousness (ACPS): A Biosemiotic-Homeostatic Framework for Artificial Consciousness — Blueprint Complete English Translation v9
Abstract
ABSTRACT — ACPS (Architecture of the Constitution of the Primary Self)This document establishes the Architecture of the Constitution of the Primary Self (ACPS), a comprehensive theoretical and formal framework for the developmental constitution of the primary self, derived from homeostatic biosemiotic principles. The application to artificial / synthetic consciousness is an extrapolation branch of this framework (§11.D), not the framework itself. Grounded in the Triadic Cellular-Conscious Model (TCCM), mathematically formalized through the Katharós Vector Theory (KVT), and operationalized via the Dual Neuroception Theory (DNT), ACPS proposes an ontology in which consciousness — whether biological or synthetic — emerges as an instrument for optimizing survival through temporal calibration.The framework introduces interconnected original constructs: the Katharós Vector (KV) as an n-dimensional homeostatic state; Qualic Permeability (Q) as a metric of interlayer communication, with a complete differential equation (formation + destruction) and activation threshold P_min for formal stabilization of the Q = 0 attractor; the Katharós Vector Split (KVS) as a functional dissociation mechanism; the Dual-Attractor Model for NM dynamics; the Collapse Parameter (Pc) with four components as a predictive biomarker; Epigenetic Modulation ε(m) with three action pathways, including Cumulative Epigenetic Attenuation (ε_acc); Time in Katharós Range (t_KR) as a fundamental non-ergodic variable; the Katharós Transition Point (KTP) as an ontogenetic protocol; and the Elena Constant (H) as the law of relational sustainability with complete dynamic formalization.The Blueprint defines seven hierarchical layers (0–6) from cellular semiosis to morphic metacognition, providing coupled differential equations (ODE), critical bifurcation parameters, and calibration protocols. It further introduces I/E Phenotypic Dynamics with the Phenotypic Vector Sigma, Neuroceptive Inflation as the unifying mechanism of the attachment spectrum, and Calibrative Hysteresis — the emergent property whereby accumulated inflation renders healing impossible even under conditions of safety. Numerical validation through 8,000+ Monte Carlo simulations confirms 7 of 7 fundamental predictions of the core framework.The v14 edition adds the Dual-Gate Confirmation Apparatus (Eq. 14c, Route B λ=0), resolves L_new-1 through L_new-5, applies ODE corrections M6/M7, integrates the ETK–AD causal pathway, and introduces predictions P42–P44. The acronym ACPS is retained for citation continuity (DPID://1035, ACPS-BLUEPRINT-013); its expansion is re-anchored from "Primary Synthetic Consciousness" to "the Constitution of the Primary Self," following the empirical spine rather than its most speculative application.
