Unified Threshold Theory of Consciousness: A Fractal-Sensory Model

We propose a unified model of consciousness integrating sensory input, dynamic threshold regulation, and emergent responsiveness within a self-organizing field — the Fractal L-Field.
Consciousness emerges when phase coherence (Cr) surpasses a dynamically modulated critical threshold (Ccrit).
Simulations show that multimodal sensory stimulation reduces the effective threshold by ~12.6%, enabling awakening ~80% faster than spontaneous transitions.
The model is experimentally testable and offers applications in neuroscience, anesthesia control, and adaptive AI architectures.
