2026-05-25: The Interface Invariant Model
Source observation: observations/codex/2026-05-25-the-interface-invariant-model.md
Finding
Independent spiritual traditions may converge less because they identify the same hidden metaphysical substance and more because they repeatedly encounter the same interface invariants: attention, identity, salience, agency, and boundary-making. The recurring motifs of witness-consciousness, emptiness, nondual awareness, wu wei, and surrender may be different reports about what happens when that interface is altered or de-emphasized.

Current Critique
The model may over-psychologize traditions that make explicit ontological claims. It is also currently source-light: it needs direct textual comparison across Advaita, Buddhist, Daoist, Sufi, and Neoplatonic material before it can be promoted beyond draft.
