    "quote": "Memory, recognition, desire, effort and cognition belong to enduring individual selves. Other minds are inferred from embodied behaviour. Objects exist independently and cause cognitions. No universal consciousness is required."
   },
   "claim_text": "Nyāya supplies the strongest pluralist realist alternative to Pratyabhijñā's universal subject: enduring individual selves explain memory, recognition, desire, effort, cognition, and other-minds inference without requiring one numerically universal consciousness. Udayana's Ātmatattvaviveka systematically defends plural enduring selves against Buddhist momentariness and idealist pressures, arguing that causal efficacy does not require instantaneous destruction and that momentariness destabilizes causality, universals, identification, memory, error correction, and determinate individuals.",

   "sadhya": "universal consciousness is not uniquely required; plural selves are a cheaper explanation",

    "status": "untested"
   },
   "reasoning": "This is the decisive control (truthanother line 391: 'Nyāya pays the substance-self cost but avoids the universal-consciousness leap'). If Nyāya can explain ownership, memory, action, recognition, and other minds with plural enduring subjects, Pratyabhijñā must show why one universal subject is explanatorily necessary. The Ātmatattvaviveka is the essential control text."
