This paper contributes to interdisciplinary inquiry at the intersection of consciousness studies, mathematical formalization, and philosophical ontology. By modeling consciousness as recursive self-observation and formalizing its developmental dynamics through phase transitions, boundary functions, and saturation thresholds, the work aligns with ongoing efforts to mathematize consciousness (Mathematics for Consciousness), deepen its ontological understanding (Philosophy of Mind), and pursue a unified theory of conscious systems (Consciousness, Nature of). The paper is also shared in the spirit of open theoretical development and independent scholarship. Version 2 Notes:This revision includes pagination fixes (e.g., separate pages for References and each Appendix), improved Table of Contents integration and typographic refinements.
