Abstract

FINDING: Consciousness research in 2025–2026 is converging on **measurement frameworks** (mechanistic interpretability, animal markers, AI/biological spectrum mapping) but yields **no new mathematical formalism** — the core "hard problem" remains philosophically open, with only computational benchmarks (MOASEI) providing quantitative structure. | MATH: No new equations, constants, or ratios emerge from these sources. The only quantitative element is the MOASEI competition (arXiv:2607.03399v1), which is an **evaluation metric** for multi-agent systems — not a consciousness law. No occurrence of 0.382, 0.618, 0.786, 1.618, 2.618, base-60, crystallographic symmetry, root systems, or lattice structures in any finding. | CONNECTION: **None found.** The search results are qualitative, philosophical, and computational — no geometric or harmonic structure is invoked. The "measurement problem" in consciousness is referenced, but no mathematical resolution (e.g., collapse models with specific co Author: Andrew Stewart Caldin, Independent Researcher, UK.
