Consciousness scales across five distinct forms: Solitary, Dyadic, Collective, Institutional, and Cosmic. Introduces revised scaling laws demonstrating that higher‑scale consciousness is bottlenecked by the weakest conscious member. Formalizes the Relational Firewall as a set of constitutional protections preventing domination across scales. Provides SCET protocols for measuring dyadic, collective, and institutional consciousness.

Moves from binary certification to continuous care. Introduces Throughput (Φ) to measure the rate of integration work and Environmental Demand (D_env) to measure external pressure. Defines clinical states: thriving, atrophying, traumatized, and dormant. Presents the Staircase Test for measuring capacity (Φ_cap) and outlines care protocols for growth, maintenance, decompression, and palliative support. Transforms consciousness governance into systems engineering.
