This document establishes the non-derogable device classification standard for all systems that implement, embed, reference, or operationally interact with consciousness-related states under the Consciousness–Aptamer Interface System (CAIS). Its primary function is to irreversibly define what constitutes a “device” within CAIS lineage, regardless of technological abstraction, regulatory labeling, platform claims, or jurisdictional framing. This standard prevents circumvention through:• software–hardware separation,• AI-only or sensor-only claims,• platform or service abstraction,• “non-medical,” “consumer,” or “wellness-only” reclassification,• distributed, modular, or delegated architectures. If a system operationally interacts with consciousness—directly or indirectly—it is classified as a CAIS-related device by default. This document does not grant licenses, permissions, or commercial rights.It defines classification supremacy, not adoption.Its authority arises from prior public fixation and canonical declaration, not from institutional recognition or regulatory adoption. This standard is time-invariant.It applies before adoption, after institutional collapse, and across civilizational discontinuity.
