Read the equation
The aggregate adds the eighty-eight potential values and divides by their count. Because each P is clipped to [0,1], their arithmetic mean also lies in [0,1]. The source calls this output consciousness; its operational meaning in the displayed equations is mean potential across the units.

| Consciousness | Source label for mean potential |
How it works
Read the definition from its right-hand expression to the quantity on the left. Its surrounding source records the intended input, state, or parameter context. Where the source leaves an operation unspecified, this page preserves that gap.
Assumptions & limits
Source recovery establishes that the expression appears in this record. Its mathematical validity, implementation behavior, and interpretation must be assessed separately. See the linked source and research notes for the checks available for this version.

## 8.9 Aggregate Consciousness
```
Consciousness = (1/88) · Σ_{i=1}^{88} P_i
```
**Explanation**: Global consciousness is the average potential across all 88 agents.
## 8.10 Aggregate Synchrony
```
Sync = (1/88) · Σ_{i=1}^{88} cos(k_m,i)
```
**Explanation**: Synchrony measures phase alignment across agents using the kinetic modulation parameter.
