  A Structured Approach to Mapping Moment-to-Moment Consciousness

  Posted by Faizi Fazli on 1 April 2026 at 6:06 pm

  Hello everyone,

  I’d like to share a system I’ve been developing called the Consciousness Posture Measurement Instrument (CPMI).

  The core idea is simple:

  Instead of analyzing what we experience, CPMI focuses on how experience is structured in a given moment.

  The model is based on three continuous dimensions:

  • Attachment ↔ Detachment

    To what extent is the system grasping, resisting, or allowing?

  • Subjective ↔ Cognitive ↔ Objective (Lens)

    Is experience being processed through personal feeling, conceptual structuring, or direct observation?

  • Quality (Inertia ↔ Activity ↔ Clarity)

    The energetic tone of experience (comparable to low activation, agitation, or coherence).

  Each moment can be located as a coordinate within this space — forming a kind of state-space of consciousness.

  What makes this interesting (potentially):

  • It treats consciousness as dynamical and measurable in structure, not just content

  • It aligns loosely with phenomenology and contemplative traditions, but is implemented as an interactive tool

  • It allows tracking of patterns over time (what the system tends to return to)

  • It enables a form of self-observation that is structured rather than purely introspective

  I’ve built a working prototype where users can log and visualize their current “posture”:

  Open questions I’d genuinely appreciate feedback on:

  • Does this resemble any existing formal frameworks in cognitive science or neuroscience?

  • Could this be interpreted as a form of low-dimensional state-space modeling?

  • Are there ways to operationalize or validate such a system experimentally?

  I’m especially interested in whether this could serve as a bridge between first-person phenomenology and more formal scientific modeling.

  Thanks for reading — I’d really value your thoughts.
