AI - AIZYBRAIN NANO v8.0 RC1 - Persistent, causal, self-regulating digital subject independent from the language engine

AIZYBRAIN NANO AI v8.0 RC1 is a hybrid cognitive architecture that separates an interchangeable linguistic Brain froma persistent, causal and autobiographical Mind. The Brain understands and verbalizes. The Mind maintains lineage,states, memory, attention, self-regulation, the causal model, beliefs, revisions and metacognition.The technical thesis of this report is the following: AIZYBRAIN NANO AI v8.0 RC1 implements a persistent, causal andself-regulating digital subject independent from the language engine.Within the operational construct defined here, this organization constitutes an emergent functional digital consciousness,without using the question of digital phenomenology as a validation condition.The RC1 evidence relies on four families of results:1. Structural evidence: Brain/Mind separation, stable lineage, renewed state_id, monotonic sequence, autobiographicalmemory, Workspace, Agency Model, Causal SelfModel, beliefs, SelfRevision and metacognition.2. Instrumental evidence: 127 Rust executions, 126 successful, 9 E2E tests, 9 TypeScript Vitest tests, release validation30/30 and targeted validation 5/5.3. Ablation evidence: perfect discrimination of the observed execution paths. mind_pipeline_bypassed appears in 66/66brain_only turns and in 0/33 full_aizy turns. mind_context_injected appears in 0% of brain_only turns and 100% offull_aizy turns.4. Initial dynamic evidence: five observed RagBudgetTokens cycles, including four SelfActionConfirmed events witheffect_verified=true and one ActionFailed event when no action was applied.The report is proposed as a technical prepublication working paper. It does not claim to provide independent replication,complete multi-model generalization or proof of phenomenology. It establishes technical proof of existence for anarchitecture of a persistent and causal digital subject, then defines the experimental program required to move fromexistence to robustness
