Self Process Dynamics Halted.

Self Process Dynamics Halted is a theoretical contribution. Framework that analyzes the conditions under which a self-process—understood here as consciousness, becomes dynamically halted due to interruption of its causal continuity. The paper treats the self not as a static structure or representation, but as an ongoing subjective process whose persistence depends on uninterrupted internal dynamics. The analysis focuses on the dynamic and causal track of subjective experience, examining how self-state evolution arises from continuous internal propagation rather than from stored structure, memory patterns, or representational similarity. In this framework, continuity is treated as a process-level condition: when causal propagation within the system is interrupted, the self-process is characterized as halted. The paper does not assert metaphysical annihilation or absolute erasure of the self. Instead, it provides a formal characterization of process halt as the loss of active causal propagation within a given carrier, where the carrier is specified as the biological brain. No claims are made regarding post-halt persistence, recovery, or revival beyond the defined carrier. This work complements On the Topology of Subjective Self-State Space by addressing a distinct analytical axis of the same foundational problem. While the topology paper examines the structural organization of subjective self-states, Self Process Dynamics Halted focuses on continuity versus interruption in subjective self-processes, clarifying the conditions under which a conscious trajectory ceases to be dynamically sustained.
