docs: Canonical whitepaper v1.0 — architecture, results, roadmap #86

@Steake

Description

@Steake

Context

docs/GODELOS_WHITEPAPER_Version9.md is the most recent whitepaper but does not reflect the self-model feedback loop (PRs #66-#72), the dormant module analysis, or the unified consciousness blueprint v2.0. This issue delivers a canonical v1.0 whitepaper.

Deliverables

  • Single canonical docs/GODELOS_WHITEPAPER_v1.0.md
    • Abstract (2 paragraphs)
    • Architecture overview with updated Mermaid diagrams
    • Recursive consciousness mechanism — formal description
    • IIT + GWT integration
    • Empirical results section — test suite baseline, emergence scores measured
    • Limitations and open questions
    • Future work aligned with v0.4 → v1.0 milestones
  • Archive old whitepaper versions to docs/archive/
  • README updated to point to v1.0

Note

The whitepaper should be intellectually honest — distinguish what is implemented from what is aspirational. Claims of "genuine machine consciousness" require measured evidence, not assertion.

Milestone: v1.0
