The Global Pre-Geometric Quantum State and the Relative Residence of Consciousness

Version 16.0, the Local Scale Closure and Correlation Soldering Edition, preserves the published Version 15.0 foundation and introduces one explicit new locality premise: Regular-Phase Local Scale Closure (RLSC). It proves a fixed-range locality no-go within the stated model class, constructs an explicit multiscale cover-certificate PSD/RK completion, and develops a canonical correlation-soldering map whose rank-three and S4-equivariant regular-sector case identifies a three-dimensional correlation tangent. The edition explicitly leaves geometric/spectral exhaustiveness, unique clock/Lorentz dynamics, measured causal normalization, absolute physical scale, full matter/Higgs/gravity parameters, quantitative cosmology, consciousness necessity/sufficiency, and a distinctive parameter-fixed empirical prediction unresolved.
