Abstract

The Consciousness Substrate Model (CSM) presents a minimal, structural framework for autonomous forms requiring internal coherence, contextual awareness, and continuity across regime transitions.

Rather than modeling cognition or subjective experience, CSM defines a substrate composed of irreducible primitives and bounded resonance cores that inform, but do not control, autonomous operation.

The model introduces Wrapped Resonance Structural Aware Dimensional Cores (WR‑SADC) as non‑intrusive internal structures that preserve validity and coherence under changing conditions.

CSM is implementation‑agnostic, non‑anthropomorphic, and compatible with existing control, learning, and planning systems. It is intended as a reproducible foundation for research and engineering of autonomous systems where drift‑resilience and regime awareness are critical.

This work is aligned with Resonance‑Time Theory (RTT) and the Resonance Substrate Model (RSM), while remaining self‑contained and independently evaluable.
