The Domain Loop Model: Grounding Consciousness Science in Whole-Body Homeostatic Computation

2026-08-31

Abstract excerpt

<p>Contemporary theories of consciousness—including Integrated Information Theory, Global Workspace Theory, Higher-Order Thought theories, and active inference frameworks—have advanced the modelling of conscious experience. Although some frameworks are substrate-neutral in principle, empirical research across these approaches predominantly focuses on neural computation, often measuring brain activity while concept...
