Commons Sentience Sandbox — FULL TECHNICAL MONOGRAPH

The Commons Sentience Sandbox is a continuity-governed experimental simulation platform designed to investigate whether structured artificial agents can exhibit sentience-like behavioral properties through layered continuity, self-modeling, and cross-temporal identity persistence. This document provides a full technical record of: system architecture across versions (v1.0 → v2.0) implementation methodology experimental configurations simulation outcomes narrative identity formation cross-run continuity degradation epistemic stabilization behavior project-thread persistence The system demonstrates increasing continuity density, self-referential modeling, and narrative coherence, while failing to sustain durable identity stability under pressure. No claim of sentience is made.This is a structured investigation into preconditions of sentience-like organization.
