The Orch-OR proposal associates biologically orchestrated quantum processes with a proposed gravity-related reduction mechanism and an interpretation in terms of conscious experience HameroffPenrose,Penrose,Diosi. These are distinguishable commitments. A calculation concerning a free scalar observable does not, without additional constructions, identify its carrier with a neuronal degree of freedom, establish the relevant environmental dynamics, or assign an experiential meaning to an event.

Cheung's Em06-A and Em06-B manuscripts supply the immediate mathematical motivation for distinguishing scalar-only classical targets, residual-state concentration, and normalized fluctuations CheungEm06A,CheungEm06B. VII-H motivates normalization-independent response diagnostics, while VII-J and VIII-C motivate a separation between scheduled support and actual influence CheungVIIH,CheungVIIJ,CheungVIIIC. En01-A, En01-B, En01-C, and Em05-A motivate the additional separation of accessible observations from coherence, recovery, and mechanism identification CheungEn01A,CheungEn01B,CheungEn01C,CheungEm05A.

boundary. The supplied landmark excerpts are documentary source records. They are not treated as an independently audited collection of complete proofs. The results below are proved for newly specified objects. When a bridge to a landmark's classical input map or to a biological model is not constructed here, it is explicitly an assumption or an unresolved obligation. Similar notation does not identify different Hilbert spaces, test classes, states, channels, prescriptions, or physical models.

repaired claims. The following corrections are part of the mathematical framework, not qualifications added after its conclusion.
