   },
   "claim_text": "Without vimarśa (reflexive self-awareness), consciousness would be insentient like a crystal or mirror — capable of passive reflection but lacking self-presence, life, and awareness. Vimarśa is what distinguishes consciousness from inert luminosity. A mere structural determination-by-exclusion framework cannot account for this qualitative difference between sentient self-presence and insentient reflection.",
