Hypothesis on Spatial-Dynamic Patterns of Consciousness

This preprint presents the Hypothesis on Spatial-Dynamic Patterns of Consciousness, proposing that consciousness emerges not solely from intraneuronal processes, but from the collective dynamics of neural networks and intercellular spaces, termed neuronal voids. Sensory signals propagate through neural circuits as electrochemical impulses, forming complex spatiotemporal activity patterns. Local oscillatory modes in synaptic and extracellular environments create dynamic “trace states” that influence signal transmission and integration. These patterns act as coordinated frequency structures, generating global dynamic organization analogous to Chladni resonance patterns, and correlate with cognitive and perceptual states. Brain regions with low spiking activity contribute to passive stabilization and modulation, ensuring coherent and continuous global patterns. Overall, consciousness is framed as an emergent property of the interaction between active neuronal processes and passive environmental structures.
