Multilevel mathematical framework captures dynamics of consciousness, suggesting routes for clinical application.
A multilevel mathematical framework is developed for modeling the structure and dynamics of conscious experience. The model is grounded in a phenomenological manifold representing conscious configurations as points in a geometric space. On top of this ontological layer, an operational Hilbert space representation captures contextuality, interference of meanings, and global correlations among cognitive modes. A complementary field-theoretic formulation describes how phenomenological modes evolve as distributed patterns over an experiential domain. The framework includes a full generator of cognitive dynamics, a non-unitary mechanism for insight, and a quantitative synchronicity index measuring global integration across perceptual, conceptual, and affective components. The model connects naturally with quantum cognition, neurophenomenology, predictive processing, and large-scale neuronal integration theories. Empirical predictions and falsifiable implications are discussed.
