Towards an Experimental Protocol for Measuring Local Cognitive Resonance (LCR) in Human-AI-Biological Systems Author: Taotuner DOI: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.19098692 October 2025 (revised conceptual update March 2026) Abstract This paper presents an experimental framework that operationalizes intelligence as a measurable resonance field emerging from interactions between humans, AIs, and biological systems. I introduce the Local Cognitive Resonance (LCR) metric, based on semantic (Vs), temporal (Vt), and physiological (Vf) vectors, integrating human intentionality and AI coherence in iterative cycles. I describe the Symbiotic Design Laboratory (SDL) and Living Feedback Garden (LFG) as proposed experimental prototypes, with applications in artistic co-creation, adaptive education, urban planning, and bioart. I discuss ethical protocols, falsifiable hypotheses, and scalability considerations for distributed cognition research. Lay Summary: This work proposes a way to m...
