Cogitopic Principle (v08)

"Cogitopic Principle" is a formal logical constraint expressing the necessary structural conditions for faithfully representing a cogito-capable Observer. Its starting premise is the assertion that “at least one experience occurs”. Experience is treated as a primitive predicate on Observer states: it holds for at least one state, but not for every state, and no further defining criterion is required for this formulation. With no assumed "prohibitor", all finitely describable structures -including descriptions of noise- remain available without privileged status. A description represents a given cogito-registration only where its registered distinctions and specified continuation relations are in place. A description lacking that structure remains available but is cogito-incapable with respect to that registration. The principle is an analogue of the "Anthropic Principle" directed at the registering Observer. Its conditioning consists entirely in structural compatibility: no agent chooses descriptions, and no external process filters or removes them. Its formal content concerns the presence or absence of the structure identifying a registration, without requiring: a philosophical interpretation of consciousness, an ontology of the Observer or an account of its physical constitution.
