   "claim_text": "Abhinavagupta's crystal argument — that without vimarśa consciousness would be insentient like a crystal — applies to any account where self-awareness is derivative rather than intrinsic. The Buddhist phala-model makes self-awareness a result of cognition: if cognition produces self-awareness, then before cognition there is no self-awareness, leaving consciousness insentient. The crystal argument refutes this by showing that consciousness cannot be insentient at any moment, therefore self-awareness must be intrinsic (svabhāva), not produced (phala).",
