OpenSymbolic — Verifiable Summary OpenSymbolic is a symbolic encoding system that transforms sensory and structured inputs (color, shape, tone/sound, or JSON data) into minimal, verifiable units called conceptrons. It is fully reproducible: the same input always generates the same Σ (Sigma chain) and the same SHA-256 hash. What can be verified now (in 5 minutes) 1. Available artifacts: voice-to-conceptron (Talkboard), retina+voice (Talkboard Retina), NGS→conceptrons (JSON→Σ), and the Universal Translator v0.1 (ES→Σ→EN via speech synthesis). 2. Determinism: load the same JSON example, apply rules, export the Σ output, compute SHA-256, reimport it—hash must remain identical. 3. Sensory determinism: record short audio input and capture camera color. The system maps audio energy→frequency (200–800 Hz) and color→C; capture produces a conceptron {C,F,T,M}. 4. Integrity: every Σ can be exported as JSON and wrapped inside an OSNet envelope (timestamp + payload) for traceability. What has been practically demonstrated • Deterministic behavior: same input → same Σ → same SHA-256. • Multimodal encoding: voice + color + shape → unique conceptron. • Interoperability: Σ exported/imported among prototypes (Talkboard ↔ NGS ↔ Reader). • Clinical proof of concept: an early-stage communication tool for children showed real interest at a therapeutic center. How to reproduce and validate 1. Run any demo locally or under HTTPS. 2. Load the built-in example → click “Apply rules → Σ”. 3. Export JSON output, compute SHA-256, record hash. 4. Re-import JSON, confirm identical hash. 5. Capture screen or short video of the process. 6. For sensor demo: record short audio and capture color, create conceptron, replay tones, record resulting sound. Simple experiments for scientific validation • Technical reproducibility: give any peer the same JSON and expect same hash. • Perceptual consistency: with 10 audio+color samples from one user, check if experts assign the same meaning to Σ outputs (confusion-matrix test). • Noise tolerance: inject noise in audio and observe frequency deviation; chart RMS error. Limitations (for honesty) • The system does not "understand" meaning—it encodes multimodal input deterministically. • Accuracy depends on calibration of mic/camera and rule definitions. • Ethical approval and GDPR compliance required for clinical data use. Proposed minimal validation protocol 1. 2-minute video showing JSON → Σ → same SHA-256; mic+cam → conceptron → tone replay. 2. Provide replication instructions to other users (6 steps above). 3. Optional small-scale pilot with 5 users: measure recognition accuracy and usability. 4.Integrity: every Σ can be exported as JSON and wrapped inside an OSNet envelope (timestamp + payload) for traceability.

Optional small-scale pilot with 5 users: measure recognition accuracy and usability. This is not theoretical; it’s an executable, auditable framework. Each conceptron and Σ chain is deterministic and cryptographically traceable. I’m open to collaboration or independent replication to verify these claims under scientific observation.
