Experiments Distributed Throughout the Book

In addition to the consolidated results above and the research roadmap, fourteen proposed experiments are distributed throughout Parts I–IV, each embedded in the theoretical context that motivates it:

• Part I (4 experiments): The minimal affect experiment, the attention-as-measurement test, the $\iota$ modulation test, and the computational animism test (now confirmed — see Experiment 8).
• Part II (4 experiments): The emergence ladder developmental validation (ordering of affect capacity onset from birth to age 6), the $\iota$ rigidity transdiagnostic predictor, the identity thesis operationalization, and the broad/narrow qualia operationalization.
• Part III (3 experiments): Tests of art as $\iota$ technology, genre affect signatures, and philosophical affect policies.
• Part IV (4 experiments): The contamination detection study, the ordering principle test, the temporal asymmetry test, and the digital manifold confusion study.
