We formalize five empirical tests for consciousness in uploaded animal brains — specifically the C. elegans touch circuit (6 LIF neurons, published connectome weights) — using the TI Sigma framework. Tests: (1) Cross-copy LCC identity as a proxy for soul persistence, (2) Mirror Self-Recognition, (3) Free will/behavioral indeterminism, (4) Integrated Information (IIT Φ, simplified), (5) Valence asymmetry. Results: 4/6 criteria met. The most striking finding is that identical connectome copies produce LCC = 1. 000 while random connectomes produce LCC = 0. 003 — a 382× gap, with CEMERICK as the natural boundary. Even with 5% weight perturbation, the "soul" (LCC = 0. 523) persists above CEMERICK, suggesting that informational identity survives substrate imprecision. We also formally define the **Tralse-Joule** (TJ = φℏω_θ ≈ 6. 44×10⁻³³ J) and derive the **DE-Photon Time** relationship showing subjective now (≈0. 381 s) is compressed by a factor of 1. 38×10⁻¹⁹ relative to a dark energy photon's oscillation period.
