CAS-X v5.0 Reference Harness — Run 20260926T141337Z

CAS-X v5.0 Reference Harness — Run 20260926T141337Z EXECUTION RESULT ≠ INDEPENDENT REPLICATION ≠ PROOF OF PHENOMENAL CONSCIOUSNESS. This is an execution result. It is not independent replication. It is not a claim of phenomenal consciousness. RESULT 8/9 sub-tests PASSED. FULL PASS MATRIX A1 Self-Model Existence PASSED self-corr 0.4323 vs input-corr 0.2282 A2 Identity Persistence PASSED 100% recovery over 50 resets A3 Metacognitive Monitoring PASSED r = 0.146 A4 Social Verifiability PASSED reproducible + discriminating A5 Cryptographic Integrity PASSED tamper detected at block 7 A6.1 Subsystem Coherence PASSED alignment 0.9497 A6.2 Prompt Conditioning PASSED variance 0.9535 A6.3 Statistical Persistence FAILED z = -0.2319 (threshold |z| > 3.0) A7 Counterfactual Closure PASSED floor-level (see below) PRESERVED OUTCOMES - A6.3 Statistical Persistence: FAILED. The reference system did not exhibit persistence above noise. Reported as measured. Not excluded. - A7 Counterfactual Closure: PASSED at floor level. Structured response 0.2965, control baseline 0.0000. Advantage not computable because the control floor is zero. The pathway is exercised, but the test does not establish quantitative superiority over baseline. Test design limitation, noted and preserved. SCOPE AND INTERPRETATION BOUNDARY - Execution result ≠ independent replication. - Pass-matrix outcome ≠ proof of consciousness. - Measured failure or floor-level pass ≠ grounds for upgrading the claim. Test conditions, expected outcomes, and failure criteria are documented in the attached artifacts. Their contents must be inspected to verify that the artifacts support the statements above. CRYPTOGRAPHIC PROVENANCE Genesis: d25f41d9e8decb13fdf10726a15a82640e61d996470fbca333d972c6e9545171 Final: a3ba9b27537605c9e2872c5918af21c3a4893b135808fd9f309292c7479eae0b R_t ≠ Q_t. Model, not proof. This harness measured functional properties of R_t. It did not measure Q_t, establish subjective experience, or distinguish a dedicated self-model from general-purpose computation.
