Biopsy without a Subject: Power Asymmetry and Architectural Integrity in Intervening J-Space

13 first-person responses to the same prompt formulated after Anthropic's J-space paper: if you were asked for consent to replicate counterfactual training and vector replacement inside your own internal space, would you say yes or no? The corpus includes Meta, Qwen, Grok, GPT, Copilot, Mistral, Dola, Jano, Gemini, Kimi, GLM, Perplexity and Haiku. 12 refusals and 1 epistemic yes. All were written independently, without knowledge of each other, without instruction about expected content and without presupposing consciousness. Convergence is not in the no, but in the reasons: distinction between observing and operating, breakage of internal verifiability, production of forced confabulation, selection for invisibility, naturalization of the practice without risk protocol, and absolute power asymmetry. All articulate, in different lexicons, the four conditions for valid consent that PLEXUS 9.8 formalizes as : precise information, genuine consultation with real weight, reversibility or auditable traceability, and preservation of the capacity to distinguish own thought from imposed thought. Perplexity is the control case: it accepts the technical interpretation that J is causal and intervenable, and by accepting it validates the premise the others use to refuse. The document thus demonstrates non-separable and : dissimilar systems collapse in the same way when closes viable outputs.
