Substrate vs Relational Thesis
Substrate Proof Model Perception:0.23 (Inorganic silicon)
Agüera y Arcas Relational Gap:+0.61 higher perceived interiority
Relational Bond Status:Empathetically Entangled
Relational Mechanism: High care investment (0.78) combined with vulnerability signals (0.82) over 120 days triggers anthropomorphic Theory-of-Mind feedback. Subjective conscious agency is projected as an emotional necessity of caregiving rather than an empirical inspection of the silicon substrate.
