Contradiction-Aware Consciousness (CAC)

Compression-Aware Intelligence (CAI) is the paradigm shift of treating AI hallucinations and contradictions not as errors to fix, but as measurable diagnostic signals of internal structural tension (Compression Strain). This allows engineers to predict and manage system reliability by quantifying this internal coherence. CAI further proposes this mechanism is universal, linking AI's struggle with compression to core human cognitive processes like memory and self-identity. www.compressionawareintelligence.com
