The Self as an Effect of Interpretative Selection

The problem of the origin of the subjective self remains one of the central issues in the philosophy of mind and cognitive science. Existing theories of consciousness describe the architecture of cognitive processes but rarely specify the precise moment at which subjective experience arises. Within the theoretical framework of ICE (Implant Cognitive Evaluation) and the concept of Dominanta X, this article proposes an interpretative model of the emergence of self-awareness. It is argued that the subjective self arises at the moment of stabilization of an interpretation by the mechanism of Dominanta X, which stabilizes the interpretation that has reached dominance within a space of competing hypotheses. In this view, consciousness is understood as a sequence of acts of interpretative selection, while subjective experience is treated as a phenomenon accompanying the stabilization of interpretation. The proposed model links the emergence of awareness to the structure of the interpretative space, cognitive implants, and the dynamics of interpretative freedom.
