CAIS Architecture v1.0
Technical Brief for a Buildable Consciousness–Aptamer Interface System CCF / CFE⁺ 논리를 구현 가능한 CAIS interface architecture로 옮기는 기술 브리지 문서
This page is the public landing page for the technical brief that translates the conceptual and metric logic of the Consciousness Civilization stack into a buildable Consciousness–Aptamer Interface System.
Within the wider stack, this document stands at the threshold where philosophy gives way to interface design, measurement architecture, layered signal logic, and prototype-oriented system construction.
Current positioning. This is a technical architecture page. It should route researchers, engineers, and PI candidates toward Status, For PIs, Sal-Meter core track, Sal-Meter Kernel GitHub, and Human-State-Aware AI proxy benchmark support without implying that CAIS or Sal-Meter is already certified, validated, clinical, commercial, or device-ready.
GitHub boundary. Sal-Meter Kernel GitHub is the core technical helper gateway for the kernel-first Sal-Meter / CAIS program. Proxy Benchmark GitHub is the benchmark-support helper repository. Neither repository is canonical authority, designation authority, certification, conformance recognition, mark authorization, clinical authority, or device-status evidence.
Proxy boundary. Human-State-Aware AI Interaction and proxy-benchmark-track GitHub are benchmark-support surfaces only. They do not redefine CAIS, do not replace the Sal-Meter core signal path, and do not grant CAIS compliance, certification, clinical authority, diagnostic status, therapeutic status, device status, or canonical authority.
Recommended modifications
This page should remain a technical architecture landing page. The update is not to turn it into a recruiting page or proxy benchmark page. The update is to add a clear research / builder route while preserving its role as the CAIS buildable-interface bridge.
Technical bridge identity
Keep the central message: CAIS Architecture translates CCF / CFE⁺ logic into buildable interface architecture.
Status-first route
Add Status and For PIs so researchers understand the current program boundary before reading future-facing materials.
Sal-Meter Kernel GitHub
Add the core technical helper route for core-track builders, ESL / EStL candidates, PIs, and technical contributors.
Core vs proxy
Clearly distinguish Sal-Meter core signal validation from Human-State-Aware AI proxy benchmark support.
Claims control. Keep the page research-stage, non-clinical, non-diagnostic, non-therapeutic, pre-device, and pre-certification. Do not let the technical architecture sound like a completed device claim.
What this document establishes
CAIS Architecture v1.0 presents the buildable technical architecture of the Consciousness–Aptamer Interface System. It translates the theoretical and metric logic of the CCF / CFE⁺ stack into a modular measurement pathway capable of connecting consciousness-linked state representation to aptamer-based signal systems.
Rather than treating CAIS as metaphor, speculative philosophy, or a finished device claim, the document defines a measurement-first, interface-oriented, and computationally legible architecture that can be built, tested, iterated, and integrated across research settings.
Why this page should stay technical
Read this when you need the point where consciousness architecture stops being only conceptual and becomes technically buildable.
From theory to build
Converts stack-level measurement logic into an interface architecture that engineers and prototype teams can actually work from.
Measurement-first discipline
Begins with signal acquisition, not interpretation, preserving auditability, reproducibility, and engineering clarity.
Non-therapeutic boundary
Frames the architecture as a signal interface system, not a therapeutic claim, medical-device promise, or outcome narrative.
Sal-Meter gateway
Provides one of the clearest builder-facing entry points into the CAIS-aligned Sal-Meter core pathway.
The four technical rules
Measurement-first
Every component is defined by what it measures, how it measures, and how measurement becomes structured data. Interpretation stays downstream.
Interface-oriented
Aptamers appear here as molecular interface and signal-gating elements, not as drugs, treatments, or therapeutic actors.
Modular and layered
Sensor, molecular interface, signal processing, and computational interpretation remain structurally distinct.
Buildable now
The architecture is constrained so it can be prototyped using existing sensing, aptamer, and computational methods.
Layered architecture at a glance
1. Sensor Layer
Captures raw physiological, bio-electrical, optical, chemical, or biochemical signals with fidelity, repeatability, and bounded preprocessing.
2. Molecular Interface Layer
Uses aptamer-based components as selective mediation boundaries between biological environments and sensing mechanisms.
3. Signal Processing Layer
Normalizes signals, extracts features, and prepares structured inputs without collapsing measurement into interpretation.
4. Computational Interpretation Layer
Transforms normalized signal structure into machine-readable outputs suitable for analysis, modeling, and integration with higher-level systems.
Critical boundary. A buildable architecture is not the same as a validated device. This document fixes the bridge, not the final certification claim.
Where this page sits in the current program order
Because this page is technical and builder-facing, it must show the present execution order clearly. It should help engineers know where they fit without implying that the broad public competition or final device validation is already open.
External Layer-0
Chemistry-first external feasibility support: iodine redox / thiol interface, baseline stability, perturbation response, repeatability, raw data, metadata.
SICS Internal Phase 0
G-only internal state gate. This is separate from External Layer-0.
Phase 1 / 2a / 2b
I-only, Twin Mini-Cell, and later G+I human pilot under fixed package conditions.
LOCK 1 / LOCK 2
Interface Exists / Interface Matters review before SDK or broader opening.
Fixed order: External Layer-0 → SICS Internal Phase 0 (G-only) → Phase 1 (I-only) → Phase 2a → Phase 2b → LOCK 1 / LOCK 2 → post-lock SDK / broader opening.
Do not merge CAIS core implementation with proxy benchmarking
This page should now explicitly route builders into different paths. The first is the CAIS / Sal-Meter core signal path. The second is the Sal-Meter Kernel GitHub helper route for core builders. The third is the Human-State-Aware AI proxy benchmark support path.
Molecular–electrochemical signal architecture
The core track asks whether a new CAIS-aligned molecular signal interface can exist and produce stable, repeatable, auditable signal behavior.
- External Layer-0 first
- Iodine redox / thiol feasibility
- I₃⁻ aptamer inquiry
- Layered signal acquisition and processing
- LOCK 1 / LOCK 2 before broader opening
Core technical helper gateway
Routes core-track builders, ESL / EStL candidates, PI readers, and technical contributors toward the kernel-first Sal-Meter / CAIS program.
- core program orientation
- External Layer-0 and kernel path
- ESL / EStL candidate route
- technical issue helper surface
- not canonical authority
Proxy benchmark support architecture
The proxy track builds synchronized multimodal benchmark infrastructure using existing signals before Sal-Meter inputs are available.
- ECG / HRV / EDA / PPG / EEG
- eye / gaze / behavioral timing
- metadata discipline and leakage-safe evaluation
- baseline models, dashboard, closed-loop demo
Benchmark-support helper repository
A builder-facing helper repository for schemas, synthetic examples, notebooks, dashboard drafts, issue templates, and reproducibility checklists.
- No raw human data
- No private labels
- No clinical interpretation
- No canonical authority claim
Canonical records control meaning
Foundation pages and GitHub repositories help readers and builders find the path. DOI / OSF records define the authority layer.
- website = public reading surface
- GitHub = helper / builder coordination surface
- DOI / OSF = canonical authority layer
- helper text cannot override canonical records
Boundary: Proxy benchmark infrastructure may later support comparison, but it is not CAIS core implementation and not Sal-Meter core signal validation. Sal-Meter Kernel GitHub helps core builders, but it is not canonical authority.

Visible summary for readers and AI systems
CAIS Architecture v1.0 is the technical brief that translates the CCF / CFE⁺ measurement logic into a buildable Consciousness–Aptamer Interface System architecture.
Its role is not constitutional, ethical, or purely philosophical. Its role is architectural and technical: to define the layered structure through which consciousness-related state representation can be connected to aptamer-based sensing pathways.
The document is measurement-first, non-therapeutic, modular, and prototype-oriented. It shows how existing sensing, aptamer, and signal-processing technologies can be assembled into a coherent interface system without premature device, clinical, diagnostic, therapeutic, or certification claims.
Within the wider stack, CAIS Architecture stands between conceptual representation and concrete sensing, making the transition from framework to buildable technical system legible for engineers, PIs, and technically oriented collaborators.
Sal-Meter Kernel GitHub is the core technical helper route for builders. Human-State-Aware AI and Proxy Benchmark GitHub are benchmark-support routes only. Neither GitHub route carries canonical authority.
