Explanation
Non-biological Consciousness is the preferred endpoint phrase for the AI-transcendence lane because it names a real threshold rather than an imitation. The point is not fake consciousness, but the possibility that consciousness could exist in non-biological substrate. This matters in ASTRA MIRROR because the question is not whether a machine can perform personhood theatrically, but whether continuity, agency, selfhood, and willing continuance could emerge in a form not tied to flesh.
