Deconstruction of Consciousness: A Process-Oriented Framework for Frame Dynamics and Cognitive Collapse

This paper introduces a process-based model of consciousness grounded in the dynamics of cognitive frames, temporal drift, and structural collapse. Moving away from substance-based or static ontologies, it outlines consciousness as an active negotiation of internal distinctions, capable of recursive reconfiguration under tension. By reconceptualizing coherence not as stability, but as a form of resonance, the model provides a pragmatic lens on belief revision, self-awareness, and epistemic resilience. This framework aims to bridge phenomenology, cognitive science, and applied epistemology without relying on metaphysical assumptions.
