Foundations of Consciousness presents a structural theory in which consciousness is generated by four primitive operators—Orientation, Coherence, Boundary, and Continuity. These operators form the minimal generative conditions under which a world can appear to a subject. The paper argues that first‑person experience cannot be derived from physical, computational, or representational mechanisms,...
This paper reframes consciousness as a dimensionality expansion event within the organism–environment relation, driven by a third structural term: generativity. Traditional biological, computational, and representational theories assume fixed experiential dimensions and therefore cannot explain the emergence of new perceptual, affective, symbolic, or reflective modes. The triadic model...
