Consciousness Resolution: The Architecture of Meaning, Organization and Integrity

Abstract

This manuscript develops a bounded framework, referred to here as GTCR (Grand Theory of Consciousness Resolution), for how consciously available information becomes organized meaning, remains open to correction, guides action, and is retransmitted. The framework links embodied enabling conditions, eight analytic distinctions within Meaning-Space, Organizational Resolution (OR), Resolution Integrity (RI), and social transmission. OR describes the stability, integration, guidance, and continuity of an interpretation; RI describes its evidence-sensitive correctability as a multidimensional profile. The central proposal is that organized conviction and sound correction procedures can diverge. Correction Access concerns the practical usability of correction channels, while Correction Ecology describes the surrounding sources, supports, costs, and opportunities. Reflective awareness may influence these processes but does not guarantee accurate judgment. GTCR is post-access in explanatory focus, while allowing feedback between access and interpretation. It neither explains the origin of subjective experience nor assumes that established consciousness theories ignore action and updating. Synthetic experiments assess model recovery and analysis behavior under stated assumptions; they do not validate the architecture in people. Proposed human tests must separate predictors from outcomes, establish the comparability of initial access, and compare GTCR variables with strong metacognitive, predictive, cognitive, motivational, and social baselines. The framework warrants retention only where reliable measurement and independent prediction or intervention tests support a contribution beyond those alternatives.
