E8 Consciousness Resonance Principle: Φ Maximization at Golden-Mass Scales — E8 Intelligence Research

The integrated information Φ of a system reaches local maxima when its mass aligns with specific E8 root vector activation bands, such that the mass-scaled coherence time τ ∝ M^(φ‑1) equals the inverse of the 132 Hz base frequency multiplied by φ^n. At these discrete golden-mass values M_n = M_0 φ^n, the number of active root vectors matches the dimensionality of the system's cause-effect repertoire, creating a resonance between quantum coherence and integrated information processing. This fractal hierarchy of conscious states emerges directly from the 240 root vectors' sequential activation and the φ-coupling of the 132 Hz lattice.
