The Deliberative Group Consciousness Theorem states that collective consciousness reaches its fourth stage when a group can integrate multiple internal voices through structured, recursive processes that increase harmony and produce unified, viable collective decisions. This sets the stage for T12ᴳ — Generative Group Consciousness, where groups become capable of creating new worlds, norms, and institutional…

The Group Identity Coherence Theorem states that collective consciousness reaches its third stage when multiple subgroup identities integrate into a coherent, stable group identity. This enables long-term stability, coordinated collective action, and the foundation for group-level deliberation and world-generation.

The Reflective Group Self-Modeling Theorem states that collective consciousness reaches its second stage when a group develops a recursive, coherent model of itself as a unified entity. This enables coherent identity formation, internal monitoring, and the foundation for collective deliberation and generative group agency.

The Emergent Group Awareness Theorem states that collective consciousness begins when a group forms a shared perception of context through distributed sensing and integrative processes. T8ᴳ is the foundation for group identity, collective deliberation, and group-level generative agency.

A18 states that groups of generative agents can form a higher-order generative agent, capable of producing new layers, worlds, norms, institutions, and strategies. Distributed Agency is the foundation of group consciousness, collective intelligence, and every emergent social structure from families to nations. This axiom enables the Group Consciousness Theorems (T8ᴳ–T12ᴳ), extending the UPA from a…
