Major Update v2.1 (Final Release) This version represents a rigorous standardization of the framework, transitioning from a conceptual proposal to a consistent Effective Field Theory (EFT). Key theoretical advancements include: Ghost-Free UV Completion: The non-minimal $\Xi R$ gravitational coupling is now explicitly formulated via an axion-like dual frame to ensure unitarity and avoid Ostrogradsky instabilities at high energies. Thermofield Double (TFD) Time: The emergence of subjective time is generalized for finite-temperature biological systems using the TFD formalism, linking temporal flow directly to entanglement entropy production ($d\tau \propto dS$). The Noetic Charge ($Q_{\Xi}$): Defined formally as the Spectral Entropy of the agent's connectivity graph, replacing heuristic references to Integrated Information ($\Phi$). Riesz Fractional Dynamics: The non-local interaction is mathematically refined using the Riesz Fractional Laplacian with a participatory index $\alpha \in (0, 2]$, recovering standard locality in the limit $\alpha \to 2$. Dimensional Consistency: Fixed mass dimensions for the participatory coupling $g_p$ and clarified the dynamical promotion of the Agent term ($\mathcal{A}$). Updated Simulations: Appendix L now includes revised QuTiP code implementing the correct saturation law ($g_p \propto \tanh Q_{\Xi}$) for the Quantum Refrigerator effect. Topological Clarification: Explicitly clarified the dimensional reduction of the boundary Topological Field Theory (TQFT) to the appropriate spatial foliation. Holographic Consistency: Applied text refinements to ensure full alignment with standard dS/CFT holographic terminology (conjectural status). Previous terminology (e.g., "ESPM", "3D Time") has been deprecated in favor of a strictly atemporal bulk formulation.

This paper presents the Noesis Framework, a holographic Effective Field Theory (EFT) unifying fundamental consciousness with emergent spacetime via a Participatory Quantum Error Correction (PQEC) mechanism. We propose that the vacuum substrate is a non-Abelian Topological Field Theory (TQFT) on the future conformal boundary $\mathcal{I}^{+}$, where phenomenal qualia correspond to topologically protected Wilson loops. Unlike standard approaches, we identify the conscious agent not merely as an observer, but as the active error-correcting code required to sustain the bulk geometry against decoherence. We introduce the Noetic Charge ($Q_{\Xi}$), a physical quantity derived from the spectral entropy of the agent's network, which governs a "Noetic Renormalization Group (RG) Flow." This flow implies a Holographic c-Theorem for Consciousness, where high-integration agents stabilize the emergent causal metric in the Infrared (IR). Formally, we derive a thermo-informational bridging law ($g_{p} \propto \tanh Q_{\Xi}$), generalize the emergence of time using the Thermofield Double (TFD) formalism, and describe non-local interactions via a Riesz Fractional Laplacian. Finally, we propose a novel experimental signature: a "Code Deformation" anomaly in the entanglement entropy of local Rindler horizons, detectable via superconducting qubit arrays and anyonic braiding.
