Layered Working Framework for Cosciousness Research

This project presents a layered, operational framework for consciousness research that separates mechanism, interface, and definition across multiple analytic levels. Rather than proposing a new theory of consciousness, the framework offers a methodological working structure designed to bypass long-standing definitional disputes and enable cross-disciplinary integration. The project includes a core framework paper, supplementary conceptual analyses, and simulation-based explorations developed iteratively. All materials are provided for open examination, extension, and reuse.
