ENT: Structural Thresholds and Symbolic Recursion in Consciousness Emergence
Emergent Necessity Theory (ENT) proposes that structured consciousness does not arise continuously or uniformly in systems, but instead emerges sharply when a coherence threshold τc is crossed. This paper formalizes the axioms behind ENT, derives operational metrics such as κeffR and the Structural Consciousness Quotient (SCQ), and demonstrates how AEFL logging systems and symbolic memory simulations can provide empirical pathways for mapping these thresholds. We provide foundational principles, mathematical clarity, and guidance for falsifiability.
