Commons Sentience Sandbox — FULL TECHNICAL MONOGRAPH

The Commons Sentience Sandbox is a continuity-governed experimental simulation platform designed to investigate whether structured artificial agents can exhibit sentience-like behavioral properties through layered continuity, self-modeling, and cross-temporal identity persistence.

This document provides a full technical record of:

• system architecture across versions (v1.0 → v2.0)
• implementation methodology
• experimental configurations
• simulation outcomes
• narrative identity formation
• cross-run continuity degradation
• epistemic stabilization behavior
• project-thread persistence

The system demonstrates increasing continuity density, self-referential modeling, and narrative coherence, while failing to sustain durable identity stability under pressure.

No claim of sentience is made.
This is a structured investigation into preconditions of sentience-like organization.
