Centriolar Damage and Ze-Budget Depletion

Ze Vectors Theory describes any information-processing system as a Ze-observer with a finite proper-time budget τ_Z that depletes upon surprising (T-event) outcomes. The Centriolar Damage Accumulation Theory of Aging (CDATA) describes cellular senescence as the accumulation of damage D(t) in maternal centrioles of stem cells, with R² = 0.84 on independent population validation. Here we derive the quantitative bridge between these frameworks: τ_Z depletion in a stem cell equals the normalised damage D(t)/D_max accumulated through CDATA dynamics. Each cell division that transmits a damaged centrosome to the stem daughter constitutes a T-event; correct asymmetric transmission constitutes an S-event. We further derive the Bridge Equation χ_Ze(t) = χ_floor + (χ_peak − χ_floor)·exp(−k_Ze·D_norm), connecting CDATA’s D(t) to BioSense’s empirically validated χ_Ze ageing index (k_Ze = 1.18; validated against Cuban EEG dataset, N = 196). We extend this to a dual-clock τ_Z framework encompassing both centriolar and telomere ageing clocks. Four falsifiable predictions are presented, including a predicted Δχ_Ze ≥ 0.03 following ROCKi intervention
