The Shape of Consciousness: How Finite Minds Filter a World Into Being

The Shape of Consciousness develops the framework this site brings to life. It argues that consciousness is what filtering feels like from the inside, once a mind models its own filtering and the outcome matters to the life it is trying to maintain. The Engagement–Openness–Consolidation model at the book’s core is the same system you can rotate and perturb here, so the site is where its motion becomes something you can watch in real time.
