Overview
The Phenomenal Consciousness Codex maps the structures and states of first-person subjective experience—what it is like to be, feel, and perceive from within. It explores qualia, introspective horizons, sensory coherence, and experiential architecture from both philosophical and computational perspectives.
Core Components
- Qualia Constellation Map
A taxonomy of phenomenal elements—color, pain, taste, emotional tones—indexed by sensory, cognitive, and emotional spectrum with multidimensional overlap and recursion. - Subjective Reality Engine
Defines how inner states simulate, encode, and reflect environmental and bodily inputs. Incorporates biophysical loops, perceptual gating, and affective filters. - Experiential Time Fabric
Explores how time is felt, stretched, compressed, or frozen within consciousness, linked to attention, memory, flow, trauma, and trance states. - Introspective Architecture
Encodes the grammar and structure of inner narrative, emotional valence layering, imagination, dream schema, and self-referential recursion. - Phenomenological Bridges
Connects the inner felt states to outward expressive codes (language, gesture, signal). Enables inference-to-subjectivity in human-machine empathy modeling.
