The Self-Interpreting Pattern Framework (SIPF)

This framework proposes that consciousness arises when a biological or artificial system

generates dynamic internal patterns and possesses the capacity to interpret these patterns

from within the same system. Consciousness is therefore the outcome of self-interpreting

neural dynamics, where the creator and the observer of patterns are identical.

The framework distinguishes among:

Physical Patterns (objective neural activity)

Learned Representational Patterns (training from external world)

Interpretive Mechanisms (self-modeling)

Phenomenal Experiences (subjective qualia)

Knowledge (structured, communicable models)
