"claim_text": "In the Abramsky-Brandenburger sheaf-theoretic treatment of contextuality, locally consistent data need not admit a global section — contextuality corresponds to an obstruction to global gluing. This provides an exact formal warning for consciousness: the fact that all local phenomenal fields share the same formal character (reflexivity, first-personality) does not entail that they are restrictions of one globally experienced field. Informational privacy means local sections lack phenomenal overlaps: Uᵢ ∩ Uⱼ ≈ ∅ at the level of direct co-consciousness.",

"reasoning": "This is the formal core of Contention 6 from Checkpoint 10. The sheaf analogy does not prove anything about consciousness, but it supplies an exact formal warning: local coherence does not entail global unifiability. Pratyabhijñā's universalization claim requires a positive argument that all local fields are restrictions of one global field — not merely that they share a common character."
