Paired evidence for the science of inner states.
What the Archive does: publish paired evidence, watch the Architect refine the Noetic Taxonomy, and see how a claim traces back to its source project.
Physiological recordings and first-person reports of inner experience are almost never paired, so phenomenological analysis stays stranded in separate labs. The Noetic Archive is the answer: a versioned, citable repo of that paired evidence, and the taxonomy of inner states derived from it.
§ 01 — The problem
Consciousness research is stuck in silos.
Most of the field rests on physiological recordings with no account of the experience itself. The two halves of the evidence — what the body did, and what it felt like — were never paired.
The paired data that does exist sits in isolated labs and rarely leaves them. It cannot be searched, compared across studies, or rechecked.
The consequence
Nothing accumulates.
Every lab starts again from zero, and a finding in one lab cannot be tested in another. Paired datasets are rare, and most of this data cannot be found anywhere online.
§ 02 — The answer
The smart Repo, and the taxonomy it produces.
The solution
A repo built for paired evidence
Researchers publish physiological recordings together with first-person reports of the same moments — searchable, citable projects with a DOI. The Librarian checks each contribution on the way in. Publishing is free.

The Noetic Taxonomy
Reading many reports, the Architect derives labels for the inner states they describe and attaches the recordings associated with each. That label-and-evidence package is an Archetype; the Taxonomy is the versioned, citable index of them.

Every contribution compounds.
- 01
Every published project widens the evidence researchers can inspect.
- 02
Every qualified contribution creates another test of the Noetic Taxonomy.
- 03
Every Edition freezes the record so claims can be rechecked.
What the Taxonomy's evidence currently supports — and what it does not — is stated on the validation page.
