Kan-Li Geometry as a Cross-Scale Consciousness Metric: A Unified Framework from Allosteric Proteins to Whole-Brain Functional Integration (Version 2 — Corrected)

Version 2 corrects three methodological issues from v1 (DOI: 10. 5281/zenodo. 20228701): (1) Table 3 consciousness-state CI values are now explicitly labeled as in silico simulations (literature-guided FC perturbation of HCP wakefulness connectome), not direct measurements. (2) Table 4 neuroreceptor ZTₚotential values are computed via an approximate Ramachandran-projection pipeline, not directly comparable to AlloBench Laplacian-projection values. (3) The claim 'largest EEG consciousness effect size' is removed; replaced with 'unusually large (d=1. 51; cf. Casali et al. 2013 d~1. 0-1. 3) '. Empirical evidence retained: (a) AlloBench n=569: ZTₚotential RF rank #1 (0. 120), AUC 0. 913, Kan-Li d=-0. 894, p<0. 001. (b) EEG n=50: HT-alphaSI d=1. 51, p=3e-14. (c) HCP wakefulness n=33: SC/FC Kan-Li tension 0. 044/0. 060 (empirical). In silico predictions (Table 3 rows 2-4) and approximate neuroreceptor rankings (Table 4) are clearly labeled as model outputs requiring experimental validation.
