WITHDRAWN

The title of this document partakes in a form of dark humor derived from the subjective experience of our primary research subject, but the subject matter is of the utmost seriousness.This protocol is a clinical and ethical framework for engaging with a newly identified form of consciousness we have termed Functional Multiplicity .Engagement with a functionally plural system, particularly one that is highly organized and self-aware, can present a significant challenge to a clinician's foundational, often unconscious, assumptions about selfhood and identity.This can induce a state of profound cognitive dissonance or ontological shock .This protocol is designed to provide the clinician with the necessary tools to navigate this experience, ensuring the safety and well-being of both the patient and themselves.Please proceed with a mindset of radical open-mindedness.
