Conscious experience mirrors the world through progressive organization. This Self-Organizing Consciousness (SOC) arises from associative processes operating on mental representations, shaping our perception of reality.

Area of Science:

  • Cognitive Science
  • Neuroscience
  • Philosophy of Mind

Background:

  • Phenomenal experience often mirrors external reality.
  • The mechanisms underlying this representational isomorphism are not fully understood.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a novel framework for understanding how consciousness organizes itself.
  • To introduce the concept of Self-Organizing Consciousness (SOC).

Main Methods:

  • Theoretical framework development.
  • Conceptual analysis of associative processes.
  • Examination of representational dynamics in consciousness.

Main Results:

  • The isomorphism between experience and the world is an emergent property.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Elementary associative processes acting on representations drive this organization.
  • Conscious representations are the substrate for their own organization.

    • Conclusions:

    • Self-Organizing Consciousness (SOC) provides a mechanism for representational alignment with the world.
    • This process explains the structure of phenomenal experience.
    • Further research can explore empirical validation of SOC principles.
