This work presents Dual-Field Resonance Theory (DFRT) v2, a conceptual framework that reconceptualizes consciousness as a structured, relational field that co-evolves with material organization through dynamic patterns of resonance. DFRT proposes that consciousness emerges from the coupling between a Material Field (embodied in the brain and body) and a Conscious Field (an informational topology of meaning and coherence). The theory introduces a Universal Conscious Field (U-CF) and Local Conscious Fields (L-CF), framing embodiment as a graded, dynamic process rather than a binary state. DFRT is positioned as an effective-level, integrative framework compatible with neuroscience, physics, and information theory, offering new perspectives on the hard problem of consciousness, embodiment, and collective cognition.
