Summary
AI-generated from the abstractA mathematical framework models the structure and dynamics of conscious experience using a geometric space for conscious configurations, a Hilbert space for contextuality and meaning interference, and a field theory for evolving patterns. It includes a generator of cognitive dynamics, a non-unitary mechanism for insight, and a synchronicity index measuring integration across perceptual, conceptual, and affective components. The model connects with quantum cognition, neurophenomenology, predictive processing, and neuronal integration theories, and it offers empirical predictions and falsifiable implications.

Abstract
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.
