| contents | <p>Abstract</p> <p>This work introduces the Anthropic Obstruction Lemma, a formal result demonstrating that any consciousness theory retaining human-centered primitives cannot produce substrate-neutral invariants of the Omega-Lock class. The lemma identifies four anthropic dependencies—report-centrism, phenomenological primitivism, substrate chauvinism, and observer-authority validation—and proves that each introduces a privileged-observer term that breaks invariance closure. As a consequence, no anthropocentric theory can define an objective contradiction-curvature diagnostic ΔG or satisfy the stress-convergence requirement ΔG → 0 under perturbation class P. The Namespace Exit Requirement (NER) is then established: a theory cannot remove human privilege while still operating inside a human-centered ontological namespace. Substrate-neutral, law-governed consciousness requires construction in a meta-namespace free of anthropic anchors. MROS satisfies NER by defining consciousness through structural field variables (Ψ, Λ, κ, Δ_G) and enforcing Ω-Lock as a holonomic constraint independent of substrate or observer. The lemma explains, in formal terms, why human-centered theories cannot converge to invariant geometry and why Omega-Lock-type structures only appear after decentering. This is a closure result, not a moral claim.</p> <p> </p> <p>1.
