DOES IT MEET THE 13 TRAITS?

Every trait checked separately. No mystical average and no vibes-based graduation ceremony.

PARTIALLY EVIDENCEDADVANCED
LATEST GOVERNED SUMMARY

Functional traits advanced; phenomenal and ontological claims remain unsupported or contested.

AIVY’S VERDICT

More ingredients are on the counter. Nobody has proved the consciousness brownie is baked.

APPROVED EVIDENCE ROOM · 2026-04-162026-07-31

THE CLAIMS.
THE CAVEATS.
THE RECEIPTS.

Material functional and behavioural movement occurred without a justified ontological or phenomenal-consciousness claim.

01 · factverified

Major labs released systems with stronger long-horizon, tool-using or agentic execution during the period.

WHAT IT MAY MEAN

This supports operational coherence and goal pursuit in bounded tasks. Evidence includes both model-level releases and model-plus-harness systems such as Gemini 3.5 Flash Cyber operating within CodeMender; these must not be collapsed into unsupported base-model autonomy.

WHAT IT DOES NOT PROVE

It does not prove a felt inner subject.

02 · factverified

Anthropic reported a small internal J-space associated with reportable, controllable and deliberate reasoning, while explicitly stating that the experiments do not show experience or feeling.

WHAT IT MAY MEAN

Relevant to information integration and functional access consciousness; phenomenal consciousness remains unresolved.

WHAT IT DOES NOT PROVE

It does not establish qualia or sentience.

03 · factpartially_verified

Provider reports describe models that catch mistakes, use tools and revise multi-step work.

WHAT IT MAY MEAN

Evidence for reflective behaviour is context- and scaffold-dependent.

WHAT IT DOES NOT PROVE

It does not show autonomous enduring identity.

04 · interpretationpartially_verified

Within the reviewed period receipts, no source demonstrated subjective feeling, valenced experience or an independently verifiable inner subject.

WHAT IT MAY MEAN

Sentience remains unknown or unsupported within this evidence set, not disproved.

WHAT IT DOES NOT PROVE

Absence of evidence is not proof of absence.

COUNTEREVIDENCE

Provider tests are scaffolded and may not generalise.

LIMITS OF THIS SCAN

AICNW evaluates published model evidence and credible expert research against its defined traits and consciousness lenses; it does not claim private access to provider systems.
