CONSTRUCTIVE BIOLOGY OF CONSCIOUSNESS

Abstract

The monograph "Constructive Biology of Consciousness" proposes a solution to the "hard problem" by rethinking the very nature of consciousness and qualia. Unlike approaches that treat subjective experience as an epiphenomenon, here consciousness is defined as a dynamic process of information synthesis within the "Body-Brain-Psyche" system, and qualia are identified with the very act of this synthesis. This bridges the centuries-old gap between the physical and the mental, demonstrating that experience is not a byproduct but a mode of existence of an integral hierarchical system.

The work introduces and substantiates in detail the concept of the Configurator—a functional core that carries out the synthesis of subjective reality by coordinating the brain's large-scale networks (DMN, SN, ECN). The theory receives multifaceted validation: from the analysis of consciousness pathologies and experiments on plasticity to social co-configuration and applied aspects in therapy and ethics.

The book presents a complete system of thought, uniting philosophical rigor, neuroscience data, and clinical observations into a new paradigm that aims to resolve key contradictions in the science of consciousness.
