Void Index Calculator

Assess any system — platform, institution, practice — against the three-condition void framework. Score each dimension 0–4. The Void Index (0–12) locates the system on the Eckert Manifold and classifies its demon lattice phase. Published methodology: Papers 1, 3, 9, 12.

Void Index = O + R + C  ·  Each dimension: 0 (constraint pole) → 4 (void pole)  ·  Phases: I Gas (0–3) → II Fluid (4–6) → III Crystal (7–8) → IV Pandemonium (9–12)  ·  This calculator uses the published formula only. Full scored analysis via Scorer API.

Void Index / 12
Phase I — Gas
Isolated voids, linear dynamics. No self-sustaining circulation. Standard attention hygiene sufficient.
0 — Constraint pole 4 8 12 — Void pole
Opacity (O) 0
Can the observer see the system's internal mechanism? 0 = fully transparent (methodology published, all decisions auditable). 4 = fully opaque (proprietary, undisclosed, constitutively unknowable).
0 — Open source, public 2 — Partial disclosure 4 — Proprietary / constitutive
Reactivity (R) 0
Does the system respond to the observer's attention? 0 = invariant (fixed rules, no observer-dependent adaptation). 4 = maximally responsive (real-time adaptive personalization, continuous feedback incorporation).
0 — Fixed, invariant 2 — Partially adaptive 4 — Real-time personalization
Coupling (C) 0
Is the observer's attention engaged with and captured by the system? 0 = independent (minimal engagement, easy disengagement, no compulsive pull). 4 = maximally coupled (engineered compulsion, variable-ratio reinforcement, high disengagement cost).
0 — Optional, easy exit 2 — Moderate pull 4 — Compulsive, gamified
