Abstract
This document does not attempt to prove consciousness. It defines a bounded experimental question: whether structured human state transitions can produce statistically separable signal patterns at a controlled molecular–electrochemical interface. The framework is explicitly non-clinical, non-therapeutic, and non-metaphysical. Its purpose is methodological: to test state separability under pre-registered feature logic, cross-validated classification, negative controls, drift disclosure, and leakage protection. Positive and negative outcomes are treated symmetrically. If separability exceeds the exploratory threshold, the result becomes a candidate for replication; if performance remains at chance level, the experiment still defines an interface boundary and remains publishable. The protocol is therefore positioned not as a proof of consciousness, but as a reproducibility-oriented bridge between philosophy of mind, signal-interface science, and cross-laboratory validation architecture.
