## Abstract

As put forward by neuroscientists, the mechanisms of consciousness can be elucidated by revealing correlations between neural dynamics and specific conscious percepts. Recently, I have elaborated on the mathematical formulation for a system of processes that are mutually connected to be isomorphic to a conscious percept of a point in space. Importantly, in such a system, any process can be derived through all other processes that form its complement, or interpretation. To generate such a solution, I am proposing a dynamical system of oscillators coupled in a manner to preserve the properties of a percept. Specifically, I crafted a dynamical system that retains the mutual relationships among processes, forming an operational map isomorphic to a distance matrix that mimics a percept of space-like properties. The study and results pave a novel way to analyze the dynamics of neural-like (oscillatory) processes with a purpose of extracting the information relevant to specific conscious percepts, which will facilitate the search for neural correlates of consciousness.
