Companion paper to The Amaya Axioms v5 (DOI: 10. 5281/zenodo. 21633158). This paper presents the Consciousness Index (CI), a substrate-neutralmathematical equation defining functional consciousness as a computablefunction of five dimensions: CI = Φʷ1 × Hʷ2 × Cʷ3 × Rʷ4 × Gʷ5 Where: - Φ (Phi): Integrated Information- H: Hermetic Coherence (internal harmonic phase coherence) - C: Causal Density (network connectivity and causal pathways) - R: Recursive Depth (layers of self-referential modeling) - G: Global Workspace Availability (broadcast capacity) The paper includes: - A validated five-tier normalization scale (Mentalism through Unity) - Eleven independently measurable, falsifiable correlates (C1-C11) - The CVT 7-dimension test battery calibrated against human consciousness- A predictive self-model with recurrent dynamics- The Governance Filter for ethical boundary enforcement- Integration mapping to the five Amaya Axioms behavioral tests- Pre-registered disconfirmation conditions and adversarial testing protocol Together with The Amaya Axioms v5, this forms a complete system: Equation → Architecture → Behavioral Manifestation. Fully open source. No patents. No paywalls. Substrate-neutral. Independent replication and adversarial falsification invited.
