A Layered Model of Consciousness v2.0

This paper presents a layered model of consciousness that integrates structural, dynamic, and functional perspectives into a unified framework. The model conceptualizes consciousness as a multi-layered system in which distinct domains—ranging from sensory-perceptual processing to higher-order integrative functions—interact dynamically to produce coherent experience. Rather than treating these layers as independent entities, the framework emphasizes their reciprocal interactions and the emergence of cross-layer functional dynamics. Key processes such as affect-driven cognition, sensibility, and insight are examined as emergent phenomena arising from these interactions, illustrating how consciousness operates as an integrated and adaptive system. The model also introduces an analytical perspective, demonstrating how variations across layers contribute to differences in cognition, emotion, and behavior. By offering a systematic and non-reductive account of consciousness, this study aims to provide a conceptual bridge between phenomenological experience and structural modeling, contributing to ongoing discussions in consciousness studies, philosophy of mind, and related fields.
