Summary
Longitudinal State Comparison examines how validated cognitive states change across repeated sessions separated by hours, months, or years.
Method
The program aligns repeated acquisitions using memory-linked activation, semantic self-model, preference ordering, affective response, and temporal dynamics. The goal is to distinguish expected personal change from divergence that would invalidate continuity claims.
Current Objective
Improve session-to-session alignment without forcing biologically unrealistic invariance.
