| 11 | +## Section A — RC+ξ attribution and metric renaming (author-initiated) |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | +### A1 · Abstract (p.1) |
| 14 | +**Before:** |
| 15 | +> The RC+ξ (Recursive Convergence + Epistemic Tension) formalism provides a |
| 16 | +> dynamical-systems-inspired lens for describing cognitive state evolution; |
| 17 | +> convergence is conditional on modeling assumptions detailed in Section 3 and is |
| 18 | +> not claimed as a general guarantee. |
| 19 | +
|
| 20 | +**After:** |
| 21 | +> The RC+ξ (Recursive Convergence + Epistemic Tension) formalism of Camlin |
| 22 | +> \citep{camlin2025consciousness} provides a dynamical-systems-inspired lens for |
| 23 | +> describing cognitive state evolution, which we adopt as a conceptual framing; |
| 24 | +> convergence is conditional on modeling assumptions detailed in Section 3 and is |
| 25 | +> not claimed as a general guarantee. Within this framing we define a distinct, |
| 26 | +> cross-sectional metric — Perspective Dispersion ($\Upsilon$) — measuring |
| 27 | +> inter-agent disagreement (Section 3.3). |
| 28 | +
|
| 29 | +### A2 · Keywords (p.1) |
| 30 | +**Before:** … Epistemic Tension, Dynamical Systems, Meta-Cognition … |
| 31 | +**After:** … Epistemic Tension, Perspective Dispersion, Dynamical Systems, Meta-Cognition … |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | +### A3 · Section 3 heading + opening (p.3) |
| 34 | +**Before:** |
| 35 | +> 3 Theoretical Foundation: RC+ξ Framework |
| 36 | +> 3.1 Cognitive State Space |
| 37 | +
|
| 38 | +**After:** |
| 39 | +> 3 Theoretical Foundation: RC+ξ Framework |
| 40 | +> |
| 41 | +> We adopt the RC+ξ (Recursive Convergence + Epistemic Tension) vocabulary of |
| 42 | +> Camlin \citep{camlin2025consciousness} as a dynamical-systems-inspired modeling |
| 43 | +> lens. Camlin's framework concerns single-trajectory latent-state recursion; our |
| 44 | +> system was developed independently (architecture DOI |
| 45 | +> \texttt{10.5281/zenodo.15214462}, April 2025) and instantiates a distinct |
| 46 | +> inter-agent metric, defined in Section 3.3. We use RC+ξ only as conceptual |
| 47 | +> vocabulary and make no claim to its formalism. |
| 48 | +> |
| 49 | +> 3.1 Cognitive State Space |
| 50 | +
|
| 51 | +### A4 · Definition 2, Section 3.3 (p.3) |
| 52 | +**Before:** |
| 53 | +> **3.3 Epistemic Tension.** Definition 2 (Epistemic Tension). The epistemic |
| 54 | +> tension at step t measures inter-agent disagreement: |
| 55 | +> ξ_t = (1/k) Σ_i ‖A_i(x_t) − Ā(x_t)‖² (2) |
| 56 | +> where Ā(x_t) = Σ_i w_i A_i(x_t) is the weighted mean agent output. |
| 57 | +
|
| 58 | +**After:** |
| 59 | +> **3.3 Perspective Dispersion.** Definition 2 (Perspective Dispersion). The |
| 60 | +> perspective dispersion at step t measures inter-agent disagreement: |
| 61 | +> Υ_t = (1/k) Σ_i ‖A_i(x_t) − Ā(x_t)‖² (2) |
| 62 | +> where Ā(x_t) = Σ_i w_i A_i(x_t) is the weighted mean agent output. |
| 63 | +> |
| 64 | +> *Relation to Camlin's ξ.* Camlin \citep{camlin2025consciousness} defines |
| 65 | +> epistemic tension as the successive change in a single model's latent state, |
| 66 | +> ξ_n = ‖A_{n+1} − A_n‖² — a temporal, intra-trajectory quantity. Our metric |
| 67 | +> (Eq. 2) is mathematically distinct: it is the variance of k simultaneous |
| 68 | +> perspective outputs about their centroid — a cross-sectional measure of |
| 69 | +> inter-agent disagreement, not the step-to-step change of one trajectory. To |
| 70 | +> avoid conflation we name ours Perspective Dispersion (Υ) and reserve ξ and the |
| 71 | +> RC+ξ name for Camlin's original formulation. |
| 72 | +
|
| 73 | +### A5 · Definition 3, Section 3.4 (p.3) |
| 74 | +**Before:** |
| 75 | +> Γ_t = 1 / (1 + ξ_t) (3). Lower disagreement (ξ_t↓) implies higher coherence (Γ_t↑). |
| 76 | +
|
| 77 | +**After:** |
| 78 | +> Γ_t = 1 / (1 + Υ_t) (3). Lower dispersion (Υ_t↓) implies higher coherence (Γ_t↑). |
| 79 | +
|
| 80 | +### A6 · Global symbol replacement |
| 81 | +Replace ξ_t → Υ_t and "epistemic tension" → "perspective dispersion" **wherever |
| 82 | +the term refers to Eq. (2) (our inter-agent metric)** — including Sections 3.5, |
| 83 | +3.6, Table 1, results, and figure/table captions. Keep ξ and "RC+ξ" **only** when |
| 84 | +referring to Camlin's framework/name (now cited). |
| 85 | + |
| 86 | +### A7 · Related Work (p.2) |
| 87 | +**Before:** … epistemic tension ξ as a driver of state evolution [20] … |
| 88 | +**After:** … epistemic tension ξ as a driver of state evolution [20]; the RC+ξ |
| 89 | +term and the ξ symbol are due to Camlin \citep{camlin2025consciousness}, whose |
| 90 | +vocabulary we adopt (Section 3) … |
| 91 | + |
| 92 | +### A8 · Contributions list |
| 93 | +**Before:** (1) RC+ξ as a conceptual modeling framework (Section 3); |
| 94 | +**After:** (1) adoption of Camlin's RC+ξ \citep{camlin2025consciousness} as a |
| 95 | +conceptual modeling lens, together with a distinct inter-agent metric, |
| 96 | +Perspective Dispersion (Υ) (Section 3); |
| 97 | + |
| 98 | +### A9 · Limitations / Discussion — add priority note |
| 99 | +**Add:** |
| 100 | +> Codette's multi-perspective architecture was developed and publicly documented |
| 101 | +> prior to \citet{camlin2025consciousness} (perspective engine, November 2024; |
| 102 | +> architecture DOI \texttt{10.5281/zenodo.15214462}, April 2025); we adopt the |
| 103 | +> RC+ξ vocabulary retrospectively and by attribution, and the relationship |
| 104 | +> between the two lines of work is convergent rather than derivative. |
