This study explores biological dynamics by integrating microdynamic and macrodynamic perspectives. It proposes that internal measurement, described in first- and second-person, can naturally explain consciousness and awareness.

Area of Science:

  • Theoretical biology
  • Philosophy of mind
  • Complex systems

Background:

  • Biological systems exhibit complex dynamics that appear constrained.
  • Traditional models often rely on external boundary conditions.
  • The subjective experience of consciousness remains a challenge for objective scientific explanation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a novel framework for understanding biological dynamics without explicit boundary conditions.
  • To investigate the role of microdynamic context in generating observable macrodynamic data.
  • To provide a naturalistic account of consciousness and awareness through internal measurement.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing first- and second-person descriptions of microdynamic processes.
  • Analyzing the precipitation of macrodynamic data from microdynamic contexts.

  • Framing standard dynamics with specific boundary conditions in third-person descriptions.

    • Main Results:

    • First- and second-person descriptions of microdynamics can generate robust macrodynamic data.
    • This approach offers an alternative to traditional boundary condition models in biology.
    • Internal measurement within material bodies is identified as a key mechanism.

    Conclusions:

    • Dynamics can be understood without imposing external boundary conditions by considering internal microdynamics.
    • Internal measurement provides a pathway to naturalize consciousness and attentive awareness.
    • This framework bridges subjective experience and objective scientific description.
