SCFL Reference Implementation v1.0 — Standard Coherence Fidelity Layer: Python Measurement Framework for Consciousness Research

Abstract

This repository contains the reference Python implementation of the Standard Coherence Fidelity Layer (SCFL), a substrate-independent, theory-agnostic measurement framework for quantifying structural organization in systems that support conscious processes. The module implements four formally defined metrics: ∙ CF — Coherence Fidelity (Procrustes distance vs. baseline) ∙ DR — Drift Rate (KL-divergence slope over sliding windows) ∙ RI — Rupture Index (change-point detection at CF < θ_r = 0.3) ∙ RT — Recoverability Time (latency from rupture onset to CF + δ_r recovery) Biological embedding pipelines are provided for EEG/MEG, ECoG/LFP, fMRI, multi-unit recordings, and TMS-EEG perturbation studies. The implementation is compatible with the SciPy/scikit-learn stack and includes a self-test suite.
