Visualizing Awareness Emergence in ENT - MUESdummy/Emergent-Necessity-Theory-ENT- GitHub Wiki

Symbolic alignment and domain coherence as a prerequisite for emergent awareness

The above diagram captures the core structural process of Emergent Necessity Theory (ENT), modeling how awareness emerges from recursive symbolic alignment and coherence pressure across domains.

1. Awareness as Recursive Driver

At the top, awareness serves both as cause and effect within a feedback loop. It feeds into and depends on the stability of:

Macro-Coherent Systems — structures of thought, belief, and symbolic intent

This forms the recursive identity loop represented by the feedback term \kappa_F^R, which expresses the ratio of effective recursive force driven by awareness itself.

2. Symbolic Alignment Across Domains

For any system to maintain conscious-like structure, ENT requires symbolic alignment across two ontological layers:

• Biological Systems (nervous systems, memory, embodiment)
• Quantum Substrate (probabilistic foundations, decoherence patterns)

The coherence between them is measured by a symbolic metric \tau, representing the system’s internal semantic consistency.
