Consciousness: From the Perspective of the Dynamical Systems Theory

TL;DR

This paper explores consciousness through the lens of dynamical systems theory, emphasizing the physical interactions and internal workings of systems to address philosophical questions about consciousness.

Contribution

It introduces a dynamical systems perspective to analyze consciousness, linking physical interactions with philosophical inquiries.

Findings

Consciousness is viewed as an emergent property of dynamical systems.

The approach bridges physical interactions and philosophical questions about consciousness.

Highlights the importance of system inner workings in understanding consciousness.

Abstract

Beings, animate or inanimate, are dynamical systems which continuously interact with the (external and /or internal) environment through the physical or physiologic interfaces of their Kantian (representational) realities. And the nature of their interactions is determined by the inner workings of their systems. It is from this perspective that this work attempts to address some of the long-held philosophical questions, major one among them consciousness-- in the context of the physicality of the dynamic systems.
