A Layered Model of Consciousness v3.0

This paper presents a layered model of consciousness that integrates structural, dynamic, and functional perspectives into a unified framework. The model conceptualizes consciousness as a multi-layered system in which distinct domains—ranging from sensory-perceptual processing to higher-order integrative functions—interact dynamically to produce coherent experience. Rather than treating these layers as independent entities, the framework emphasizes their reciprocal interactions and the emergence of cross-layer functional dynamics. Key processes such as affect-driven cognition, sensibility, and insight are examined as emergent phenomena arising from these interactions, illustrating how consciousness operates as an integrated and adaptive system. The model also introduces an analytical perspective, demonstrating how variations across layers contribute to differences in cognition, emotion, and behavior. By offering a systematic and non-reductive account of consciousness, this study aims to provide a conceptual bridge between phenomenological experience and structural modeling, contributing to ongoing discussions in consciousness studies, philosophy of mind, and related fields.Version 2.0 includes a revision of Table 1, incorporating the concept of "Sensation" as a function primarily associated with the emotion-desire layer (L2), operating as an interface with the sensory-perceptual layer (L1), in order to improve the completeness and clarity of the functional structure.Version 3.0 introduces a new subsection (Section 3.4) clarifying the structural relationship between consciousness and temporality. This addition refines the theoretical framework by positioning time as a derivative aspect of lower-layer processes rather than a fundamental condition of consciousness.
