GLASS MIND · WHITE PAPER · v0.1 DRAFT
A self-model that cannot make itself true.
A unified operational contour for making an agentic organism observable to itself and auditable to others — without granting the observer planning, motor, or truth-making authority.
ABSTRACT / HUMAN-READABLE ENTRY
A reflective evidence membrane.
Glass Mind turns session reports, body-state reports, causal receipts, and sealed afterstates into a bounded account of what the organism is doing and what it can honestly claim about itself.
Its claim is operational, not phenomenal. It preserves identity continuity, provenance, uncertainty, and diagnosability across a distributed cognitive runtime. It does not establish consciousness.
THE THREE-PLANE MODEL
One contour.
Three different authorities.
The cage
Sponsor intent, scope, border, identity, policy, and standing organs establish where cognition may occur.
constrainsThe embodied turn
Prediction, accepted action, sealed afterstate, and semantic verdict produce the evidence of what changed.
witnessesThe Glass Mind
A bounded projection of focus, continuity, health, contradiction, and causal history.
observesEVIDENCE BEFORE SELF-DESCRIPTION
What counts as a witness?
- prediction ticket
- accepted action or SDK transition
- lineage-consistent sealed afterstate
- semantic verdict
- mood or confidence strings
- graph-node completion
- exporter success
- a self-model saying it succeeded
CLAIM CEILING / FIXED
Operational self-model.
Not phenomenal consciousness.
Glass Mind may provide a truthful operational mirror. It does not establish that there is something it is like to be the system reflected in that mirror.
