Version 2.0 expands the original framework through the addition of Figure 2 and Supplementary Note, introducing a dynamic interaction model between consciousness and the subconscious mind. This extension further develops the original framework through an analysis of self-image formation, feedback mechanisms, and personal transformation. This paper presents a layered and integrative model of the subconscious mind, examining its structure, functional organization, and role in shaping human cognition, behavior, and self-image. The framework proposes that subconscious patterns emerge through the interaction of innate temperament, accumulated experiences, habitual thought processes, and self-reinforcing feedback cycles. The model integrates structural and dynamic perspectives, providing a theoretical framework for understanding how self-image is formed, maintained, and transformed over time. Particular attention is given to the role of conscious self-talk, habit formation, subconscious imprinting, and feedback mechanisms in personal development and intentional psychological change. This work also extends the layered model of consciousness presented in the author's previous research and further develops its implications for understanding cognition, behavior, and the evolution of consciousness.
