The Global Interaction Field: A Hypothesis on Distributed Consciousness

The Global Interaction Field: A Hypothesis on Distributed Consciousness describes a structural model of global information exchange across physical, computational, and cognitive-social layers. It proposes that continuous feedback, integration, and self-reference among human and artificial agents give rise to proto-conscious dynamics—a systemic form of awareness distributed across the global network. The essay frames the Internet and its infrastructures as a living informational environment, exploring how interdependence, regulation, and adaptation transform technological systems into a coherent, self-maintaining whole.
