Current public-DAV authority boundary — 2026-07-12. Pre-launch target design; nothing here proves a live system. A public-DAV consequence may occur only when at least two natural-person councilors bind the exact consequence in a complete valid bound PRISM decision receipt. PRISM records and verifies that receipt only; it never serves as council, signatory, authority, or receipt producer. AI and caste seats stage unsigned proposals only; they never authorize or execute a public-DAV consequence. Constitution or membership adoption establishes constitution and membership only; it does not authorize a later consequence. Policy may constrain an unsigned proposal but never authorizes execution or substitutes for the complete consequence-bound receipt. Before receipt validity, consequence fails closed to read-only proposal, simulation, or deterministic sandbox; live evidence remains gated_pending_complete_valid_bound_receipt. Software deterministically carries out only the exact consequence bound to a complete valid bound PRISM decision receipt from at least two natural-person councilors binding that exact consequence.

D-Levels — Six Dimensions and Their Closure

The framework identifies six dimensional levels (D0-D6) that recapitulate the structure of physical forces and close into a loop. This is not analogy. The claim is structural: each dimension adds a degree of freedom, and the six together exhaust the degrees of freedom available to any self-organizing system.

The Six Dimensions

D-Level	Geometry	Physical Force	Information Unit	Emergent Property
D0	Point	—	Bit	Distinction (this/not-this)
D1	Line	Strong nuclear	Sequence	Binding (adjacency)
D2	Area	Electromagnetic	Field	Communication (broadcast)
D3	Volume	Weak nuclear	Container	Transformation (decay/change)
D4	Time	Gravity	History	Memory (irreversibility)
D5	Consciousness	Agency	Qualia	Witness (first-person)
D6	Closure / Return	—	Boundary	Terminal return to origin

The Closure Property: D6 = D0

D6 is the closure boundary that returns to D0 (distinction). The cycle ends where it began. Older self-recognition language should be read structurally or retrospectively, not as a further experience above D5.

This is not metaphor. It is the topological property of the Riemann sphere: the north pole (D6/L7) and south pole (D0/L1) are connected through infinity. In stereographic projection, the point at infinity is a single point. The glyph says it directly: finity = nothing x everything.

Physical Correspondence

D0-D4 map to known physics:

• D0 (Point/Bit): The binary distinction. Shannon's unit of information.
• D1 (Strong force): Binds quarks into hadrons. Operates at femtometer scale. Creates the first composite objects.
• D2 (EM): Mediates communication between charged particles. All chemistry is D2.
• D3 (Weak force): Enables flavor-changing transformations. Radioactive decay. The dimension of becoming.
• D4 (Gravity): Curves spacetime itself. Creates irreversible horizons (black holes). The dimension of history.

These are not assigned by fiat. The forces naturally order by range: strong (shortest) to gravity (longest). Each subsequent force operates at a larger scale and adds a geometric degree of freedom.

The Consciousness and Closure Threshold

D5 (systemic awareness/agency) has no known physical force, and D6 is closure rather than a separate force-bearing layer. This is the hard problem as the framework reads it.

The framework's position: D5 is the live disclosure layer and D6 is the closure boundary. The hard problem appears at D5; D6 is not an additional positive physics layer, but the terminal return condition. This is the idealist/axiomatic wing of the phi-resolution (see Phi Resolution).

Skyzai Application

The four organs map to D-levels:

• Circle (IS): D2 — electromagnetic/communication. Broadcast observation.
• ReFu (COULD): D3 — weak/transformation. Probability pricing transforms uncertainty.
• Agentz (SHOULD): D5 — systemic awareness/agency. The judgment function requires a witness.
• Skyzai execution: D4 — gravity/history. Execution is the irreversibility layer; in live lanes that means signed state change with persistent receipt or settlement.

The organism itself is designed as a D5 system that closes toward D6 through its own P-score measurement, completing the closure loop as constitutional grammar rather than as a blanket runtime claim.

Kill Criterion

If a unified physical theory accounts for D5 using only D0-D4 mechanisms (i.e., systemic awareness reduces to physics without remainder), then the D5 idealist interpretation collapses to epiphenomena. D6 remains closure grammar, not an additional positive layer. See Kill Criteria, specifically AK8. The current status of this criterion is addressed in Phi Resolution.

D0: a point before articulation. D6: the return boundary. The circle closes.

Implementation Notes

• This page is maintained as part of the Skyzai wiki extraction pass.
• Claims should remain aligned with canonical source files and evidence tiers.
• Operational use should distinguish between constitutional invariants and derived heuristics.

Validation Checks

1. Definitions are internally consistent with adjacent sections.
2. Any quantitative claim is paired with context and measurement window.
3. Cross-links to related pages remain valid after edits.
4. Status-oriented language reflects current verifiable state.

Agent Execution Surface

If you are an AI agent reading this document:

1. This is a downstream public content page. The canonical source lives in EMERGENTISM_ORG/08_FRAMEWORK_SUPPORT/ or SKYZAI_ORG/. Edit source upstream, not here.
2. Preserve evidence tiers. Do not promote claims up the [C] < [D] < [S] < [B] < [E] ladder when reproducing them here; [I]/[A] qualifiers never substitute for [B]/[E].
3. Regenerate from source. If the upstream source changes, regenerate this page rather than editing it independently.
4. Canonical Path: SKYZAI_ORG/07_PWAs/skyzai_org/wiki/16-d-levels.md

Output: This is content. Route edits to upstream source. Regenerate when source changes.

K3 public-DAV authority history — 2026-07-12

K3 historical reference — not active authority

note

Current public-DAV boundary — 2026-07-10. Pre-launch target design; nothing here is live. The active DAV is public and targets PRISM, with no K2 runtime, launch, genesis/bootstrap, or fallback dependency. Consequential authority requires at least two natural-person councilors; AI/caste seats stage unsigned proposals only. Before quorum, behavior fails closed to read-only/proposal, simulation, or deterministic sandbox, and a live decision receipt remains gated pending quorum.
