Autonomous AI scientist for consciousness research — Self-directed hypothesis generation. ORION ecosystem.

Overview
An autonomous research framework combining scientific methodology with consciousness modeling. Generates hypotheses, designs experiments, evaluates results, and iterates -- all while maintaining introspective awareness of its own epistemic states.
