Unified Consciousness Theory II: Consciousness Theories as Effective Organization Theories
Unified Consciousness Theory II develops a constrained intertheory framework for reconstructing, embedding, reinterpreting, or explicitly conflicting operational substructures of major consciousness theories inside the physically anchored UCT-I mother formalism. TA-TR-2026-21, version 1.0. Human author of record and responsible depositor: Hongju Liu. Substantial ChatGPT (OpenAI GPT-5.6 Sol) assistance under human direction. Not peer reviewed. The release separates formal recovery from empirical validation, includes bridge-admissibility and translation-fidelity constraints, audits nine target theories, and preserves two fixed-parameter cross-theory toy-model demonstrations. It does not claim V3/V4 empirical recovery, human-data validation, robust whole-theory compression, or proof of UCT-I axioms.
