Abstract: The Cosmic Psi-Field and the Locality of Consciousness: Corrected Field Equations and Current Status. Adrian Alan Baillargeon. November 6, 2026. In plain words: the idea is that minds are tuned to a field that fills space, and each star system shapes that field differently, so a mind taken far from home would lose its tuning. That is a clear idea, and it can be written down. But the version received had its central equation wrong: the equation printed did not follow from the starting point it claimed to follow from. It also used a wrong number for how curved space is near the Sun — in empty space outside the Sun, that curvature is exactly zero, not the number printed. Several of its ingredients were never given numbers at all, so the maps and percentages it reported could not have been computed from what was written. This document fixes the equations that can be fixed by algebra and marks the rest as open. The idea itself is neither proven nor disproven; it is waiting on definitions and a testable prediction. This paper presents a corrected derivation of the Omega-squared psi-field model of consciousness as received on November 6, 2026. The field equation as received does not follow from its own Lagrangian: the true Euler-Lagrange equation carries the opposite sign on the mass and self-interaction terms and a factor of two on every coupling. The Ricci scalar attributed to the Sun in the received simulation is likewise incorrect: in vacuum the Schwarzschild solution is Ricci-flat, so the curvature coupling invoked for the solar contribution vanishes in interplanetary space. This version gives the true Euler-Lagrange equation, verified symbolically; the correct Ricci scalar inside and outside matter; and dimensional corrections to the perturbation terms. A master key defines every symbol in the paper in plain words. Status, stated plainly: the model is an unproven assertion plus restatement. Its Lagrangian is a standard scalar effective-field-theory form; its Schwarzschild-de Sitter metric is written correctly; its consciousness functional is a well-formed integral with undefined parts. Its central field equation was wrong, its solar curvature term does not exist as written, two of its perturbation terms fail dimensionally, and its simulation numbers are asserted without computation. The test of this model is blocked until the following are pinned exactly: (D1) all parameters numerically with units; (D2) the measure of integrated information defined exactly; (D3) a consciousness threshold; (D4) the corrected field equation adopted; (D5) the corrected Ricci scalar adopted; (D6) dimensional consistency of every perturbation term; (D7) a sealed prediction with pass and fail stated in advance. No law of nature is claimed here, and no novelty is claimed: a literature sweep has not been run. The corrections are declared constructions; the underlying model is the author's.
