This document provides a minimal, implementation-oriented guide for building a Sal-Meter and CAIS prototype using Aptamer G-Iodine. It is intended to enable independent, good-faith experimentation by researchers, engineers, and interdisciplinary teams. This guide is non-constitutional, non-normative, and non-interpretive. It does not certify results or claim authoritative measurement, but offers a concrete starting point for physical prototyping and empirical exploration under the Consciousness Civilization Framework (CCF). Canonical Lineage & Structural Position Position Within the Consciousness Civilization Framework (CCF) This document functions as a minimal Applied Implementation Layer within the Consciousness Civilization Framework (CCF). It is structurally downstream of the canonical and constitutional documents of the CCF and does not introduce, modify, reinterpret, or supersede any upstream authority. All terminology, ethical constraints, system boundaries, and interpretive authority used in this guide are fully inherited from the established canonical stack. This guide exists solely to translate already-fixed canonical specifications into a physically buildable prototype pathway. What This Document Is (Canonical Scope) This document is: • An implementation-oriented prototype guide• A deployment-adjacent technical starting point• A non-authoritative execution reference• A build-this-now document for capable teams It is designed to support independent, good-faith experimentation under the constraints of the CCF. What This Document Is Not (Explicit Non-Claims) This document does not: • Redefine consciousness• Establish new constitutional authority• Introduce normative standards• Certify measurement results• Claim validated or authoritative consciousness metrics• Replace or reinterpret canonical documents No claims made herein supersede or compete with any canonical or constitutional layer of the CCF. Canonical References Governing This Guide This guide operates strictly within the non-derogable boundaries defined by the following canonical references: Core Canonical Root Consciousness Civilization Framework (CCF) — Canonical Roothttps://osf.io/7x6k4Registration DOI: https://doi.org/10.17605/OSF.IO/2HGMU Applied & Modular Architecture Consciousness Civilization Framework (CCF) — Applied & Modular Stackhttps://osf.io/q9krm Sal-Meter Application Authority Sal-Meter Application Charter v1.0https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.18012391 Sal-Meter Application Charter v1.0 — Technical Summaryhttps://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.18012870 CAIS Interface Standard CAIS v1.0 — Consciousness–Aptamer Interface Standardhttps://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.17706319 CAIS Primer v1.0 — Introductory Cross-Disciplinary Bridgehttps://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.18050531 Prior Art & IP Boundary Aptamer Claim Atlas v1.1 — Prior Art Declaration for CAIShttps://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.17669434 Operational Fixation CC Operational Fixation Set v1.0https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.17920952 Interpretive Authority and Inheritance All interpretive authority remains exclusively with the canonical CCF documents listed above. This guide: • Inherits definitions without alteration• Implements constraints without reinterpretation• Operates within fixed ethical and constitutional boundaries• Provides no independent interpretive claims Any ambiguity is resolved upstream, never within this document. Functional Role of This Guide This document exists to enable the following transition: Canonical Specification → Physical Prototype → Empirical Exploration It marks the point at which the Consciousness Civilization Framework becomes operationally buildable, without becoming interpretively mutable. Final Structural Declaration This guide is non-constitutional, non-normative, and non-interpretive. It does not certify results.It does not claim authority. It provides a concrete starting point for physical prototyping under the Consciousness Civilization Framework.
