    "quote": "The recovery trajectory hierarchy test moves the dissociation-vs-contraction differential from a theoretical prediction to a falsifiable wager. If DOC recovery follows a consistent cross-patient hierarchy (arousal level → content dimensions → fine-grained cognition), the kañcuka model's universal-ordering prediction is supported. If recovery order varies with patient-specific factors independent of lesion anatomy, the dissociation model's alter-constitution prediction is supported. If neither pattern emerges clearly, both models are underspecified on this point and neither gains advantage."
   },
   "claim_text": "The recovery trajectory hierarchy constitutes a tractable experimental wager between the dissociation model and the kañcuka-contraction model because it transforms their ontological disagreement about individuation (real dissociative boundaries vs. illusory māyā-limitation) into an observable outcome: the ordering of recovery stages after severe brain injury. The test is not a metaphysical verdict but a research-direction decision: it tells the future investigator which model's ontology is more fruitful for predicting recovery patterns. If the kañcuka model wins on this test, research effort should focus on its dimension-specific intervention targets. If the dissociation model wins, effort should focus on patient
