Key Points

This research aims to clarify the physical dynamics necessary for consciousness as specified by Integrated World Modeling Theory (IWMT).
Introduce a regime-level completion to IWMT to address dynamical under-specification.
Differentiate between representational temporal coherence and dynamical temporal depth.
Analyze empirical evidence connecting consciousness with temporally extended intrinsic dynamics.
Propose that consciousness requires temporally deep intrinsic dynamical regimes.
Establish Temporal Depth and Intrinsic Dominance Ratio as necessary conditions for conscious experience.
Generate testable predictions about consciousness in various domains including anesthesia and artificial systems.
