Construction role
The consumer sector pressures SelfDesc to apply to SelfDesc, because consumers must model other Life Loops as part of survival. Neural architecture supplies the substrate for this second-order evaluator. The result is a bridge to reflection, not a completed theory of consciousness: Book VI builds the precondition.
What this step earns
Neural bridge to self-modeling is made addressable as Step 087 in the fine-grained Construction Spine routing layer.
- Routing scaffold. Detailed earned-output extraction is pending the source-map pass.
What this step does not yet establish
This route exposes the RC3 construction step for inspection. It does not by itself establish peer review, empirical adequacy, or final manuscript-level source closure.
Source anchors
- Full Construction Spine RC3 whitepaper source (papers/whitepapers/panta-rhei-construction-spine-e0-e3/main.tex:1135)
Manuscript extraction state: Detailed source anchors pending extraction.
Anchor classification: whitepaper source resolved; manuscript extraction pending; Registry extraction pending; TauLib extraction pending.
Formalization and verification
