+# Minimal Selfhood Threshold: From 3×3 Agent to LED Cosmos
+
+Plain-language overview:
+- We start with one simple agent (a dot) in a tiny 3×3 world.
+- We use a score S built from predictive accuracy, error stability, and a body-on bit.
+- If S passes a threshold (here, 62), we mark the agent as “awake” in the demos.
+- One awakened agent can boost another (contagion).
+- A grid of agents awakens as a wave (collective).
+- We simulate an LED cosmos (27×27) lighting up when all agents awaken.
+
+What the Space shows:
+- Interactive visualizations of agents, S, and awakening waves.
+- Sliders to explore how S changes with predictive rate, error variance, and body bit.
+- Simulated contagion and collective propagation based on the S rule.
+
+Important notes:
+- Threshold 62 is a design choice used in these demos, based on prior analyses in my manuscript. It is not claimed as a universal law.
+- The integrated-information (Φ) references are illustrative, not validated measures.
