We present PROSENTIR Phase 3, the concluding paper of a trilogy investigating the computational correlates of consciousness and cooperation (Phase 1: DOI 10. 5281/zenodo. 19912924; Phase 2: DOI 10. 5281/zenodo. 20019260). The paper makes three contributions. First, it develops the causal constitution argument against qualia as non-physical primitives: the distinction between propositional knowledge (knowing-that) and causal-integration knowledge (knowing-from) shows that Mary's Room rests on a false premise, and the causation/constitution distinction shows that the philosophical zombie is incoherent within the constructive cosmogony (C2) — not because qualia are impossible, but because experience and critical integration are constitutive, not causally separable. Second, it introduces modules specialized by abstraction hierarchy (concrete, categorical, relational, abstract) to achieve Phi > 0 by architectural construction, and conducts two pre-registered experiments across 45 independent simulations with time-based seeds. Both primary hypotheses are falsified: H1 (higher Phi predicts mutual cooperation; r = -0. 178, p = 0. 268) and H2 (payoff reinforcement degrades cooperation; r = 0. 065, p = 0. 935). Third, it reports the principal empirical finding: cooperation and Phi are partially independent properties. Cooperation is governed by inter-agent dynamic synchrony of Level-3 integrators; Phi is sensitive to intra-agent modular differentiation and degrades under high payoff reinforcement (r = -0. 918, p = 0. 082). Manual exploration identifies seeds A=95/B=20 (mutual cooperation 0. 95) and A=18/B=98 (0. 75) as configurations where sustained M3 synchrony constitutes the operative predictor of cooperation. Phase 4 is specified as the measurement of inter-agent Phi via MI (M3A, M3B), systematic mapping of the synchrony phase transition, and identification of the Zimbardo critical threshold where payoff reinforcement destroys cooperation.
