Sal-Meter Open Competition Wiki

1. Purpose of This Wiki

This Wiki serves as an orientation hub for
researchers, participants, and coordinators interested in the Sal-Meter Open Competition.

Its purpose is to:

  • Help participants quickly understand the structure of the competition
  • Explain Canonical standards without interpreting or modifying them
  • Provide stable guidance for implementation and participation flow

Important Notice

This Wiki is a non-canonical reference.
All final authority resides exclusively in DOI-registered Canonical documents.


2. What Is the Sal-Meter?

The Sal-Meter is a consciousness and mental-state measurement biosensor system
that strictly follows the CAIS (Consciousness–Aptamer Interface System) standard.

The core measurement axes are:

OE — Ordered Energy

Structural coherence and order of consciousness states

RE — Relational Energy

Relational resonance between individuals or groups

EE — Entropic Energy

Entropy and disorder dynamics within a consciousness system

These values are computed under CAIS rules into the indices:

  • VCE
  • CRI
  • CFI

3. Essential Reference Documents (Getting Started)

4. Canonical Authority Structure (Critical)

The following must be clearly understood.

4.1 Non-Canonical Materials

  • This Wiki
  • GitHub repositories
  • Figshare explanatory materials

These exist for explanation only and hold no authoritative power.

4.2 Canonical Documents

All definitions, criteria, and interpretive authority reside only in
DOI-registered Canonical documents.

Canonical documents are fixed via Zenodo / OSF and
cannot be modified, reinterpreted, or redefined.


5. Competition Participation Structure

Track Overview

Track A

Core research teams / deep system implementation

Track B

Partial implementations / alternative sensor approaches

Track C

Open research, analysis, theory, and methodology contribution track

Under the Canonical CAIS and Sal-Meter standards, participants may freely contribute:

  • New analytical methods
  • Interpretation frameworks
  • Validation approaches
  • Theoretical extensions
  • Data analysis models
  • Ethical, governance, and philosophical contributions

This is an open and flexible research track.

Common Principles

  • Mandatory CAIS compliance
  • Non-therapeutic signal interface only
  • No proprietary or closed structures
  • Open release under CC BY-SA license

6. Operational Roles (Korea)

This project is operated around maintaining standards, not making decisions.

Project Coordinator (PM, Korea)

  • Coordinates overall competition flow, documentation, and communication
  • Does not interpret or modify Canonical standards
  • Guides and connects participants according to fixed criteria

Aptamer Coordinator (Korea)

  • Organizes Aptamer G-Iodine / Aptamer-Iodine research streams
  • Structures experiments, sequences, and documentation
  • Works with PM and SICS to prepare public-facing materials

Posting:
https://github.com/salpida-foundation/sal-meter-competition-kr/issues/6


7. Questions and Participation

  • Q&A: GitHub Discussions
  • Announcements & Updates: Repository Announcements
  • Official Contact: info@salpida.foundation

8. Final Notes

This competition does not aim to create new standards.

It is a process to prove, through technology, operations, and collaboration,
that already-fixed standards can be implemented accurately worldwide.

Participants are invited to:

  • Research on top of the standards
  • Avoid destabilizing the standards
  • Help the standards propagate globally through correct implementation

This Wiki is a guidance layer.
Authority remains permanently fixed in Canonical DOI records.
