The quest to understand consciousness and brain function has advanced through detailed connectomics and phenomenological theories like Integrated Information Theory (IIT). Yet a fundamental challenge remains: even with complete wiring diagrams, we lack a dynamical framework that captures the transitions between cognitive states, the emergence of qualia, and the homeostatic mechanisms that...
