Abstract

This collected edition consolidates Mirror Programme Volume I: Observerhood from Constraint, Viability and Recursive Reliability. Volume I develops observerhood as a derived organisational condition in which a bounded system preserves viability by maintaining world-models, self-models, reliability estimates, memory governance and physically supported identity-continuity under perturbation. The collected edition includes V01.00-V01.11 and Computational Observerhood Labs I-VII. It spans the Volume I Overview, the Theory Arc, the Mathematical Formalisation Arc, the Computational Observerhood Labs and the completed Physics Support Arc. The consolidated DOI should be used when citing Volume I as a completed arc. Individual paper and laboratory DOIs remain the canonical citation objects for specific claims, theorems, formal definitions, computational results, data, figures and reproducibility dependencies.This archive contains a merged collected-edition PDF, final paper PDFs, lab papers, lab code, generated data, figures, README files, CITATION.cff files, licence files and a manifest listing every included item and its DOI.
