Transition Protocol Pilot

PROJECT

Designing the first empirical task to validate cognitive state transitions under CSTP — the control layer of NCSM.

About


This project designs and publishes the first validation task for CSTP — the transition-control protocol within the Neurodynamic Cognitive Systems Model (NCSM). 
CSTP is a predictive control mechanism that models how cognition reorganizes in real time: when to shift, how to arbitrate, and what happens when that fails (e.g. cognitive rigidity, dissociation, AGI collapse). 
With this pilot, we’ll produce: 
  • A testable task structure for EEG/fMRI studies
  • Mode-switching failure conditions mapped to oscillatory signatures
  • A public research brief and protocol available for labs, theorists, and alignment researchers

This task is the first step toward empirical validation — not just theory. Your support helps convert predictive architecture into falsifiable, real-world science.
 
If you're here early: you're helping build the control layer that may determine whether systems (human or artificial) hold together — or fall apart.
