 "central_reading": "This layer formalizes the second differential prediction from Loop 007 (contentless luminous witness sākṣin vs. hybrid blended content) as a concrete experimental wager with a structured phenomenological interview protocol. The four claims frame the test as feasible and operationalizable (Claim 1), specify the kañcuka model's prediction of contentless luminous awareness after severe content-structuring damage (Claim 2), specify the dissociation model's prediction of hybrid blended content after partial alter-boundary collapse (Claim 3), and provide a minimum protocol specification including inclusion criteria, instruments, analysis methods, decisive criteria, and timeline (Claim 4). This moves the sākṣin/hybrid-blend differential from a theoretical prediction to an actionable research design. The wager does not claim to settle the ontology debate — it claims to determine whether the residual phenomenology of MCS patients after content-structuring damage better matches the kañcuka model's sākṣin prediction or the dissociation model's hybrid-blend prediction. If a two-cluster structure emerges with silhouette ≥ 0.40 and lesion-location correlation, the models are empirically differentiable. If no separable clusters emerge, both are underspecified on this prediction dimension.",
