The Formal Structure of Phenomenology Qualia, Manifestation, and Selector-Access Regimes

This paper develops the formal phenomenology layer that extends the operational boundary theory of unified agency established in Paper 73 . Paper 73 characterized the structural conditions under which a system forms a unified self-indexing adjudicative regime (O-SIAM). The present paper asks what additional formal structure is required for manifestation, qualia, subjectivity, and self-presence within such a regime. We introduce a six-part ontology \Ont = (\OntM, \OntR, \OntP, \OntJ, \OntL, \OntA), distinguish primitive from induced structure, and define matter, mind, qualia, self, and common world as regime-cuts rather than separate substances. We prove anti-collapse theorems showing that articulation alone is insufficient, that manifestation is not reducible to articulated structure, that locus is irreducible, and that off-ledger strategies for phenomenology are either illicit under the stated bridge premises or semantically null. We formalize ownership, typed manifestation, locus-dependence, selector-access regimes, and bounded restriction-relaxation. We also prove coherence theorems showing that one and the same machinery explains private manifestation, owned content, self-presence, structured qualia, and selector-access differences without ad hoc additions. This overview presents the core NEMS theorem engine and selected applications; stronger domain-specific derivation and ontological synthesis claims belong to separate release surfaces with their own premise bundles and formal artifacts. Trust boundary. Uniqueness and global elimination of rival theories belong to Paper 75 . Tier C interpretive prose does not carry flagship weight (). Machine-checked claims live in phenomenology-lean .
