ARQUITETURA NEURAL DO PRESENTE — ANP UMA ABORDAGEM CONCEITUAL DA TEMPORALIDADE INTERNA DA CONSCIÊNCIA NA CONSTRUÇÃO DO PRESENTE CONSCIENTE

Abstract

Este artigo apresenta a Arquitetura Neural do Presente (ANP), um modelo conceitual funcional que descreve como o presente consciente emerge da integração dinâmica entre informação sensorial, memória, emoção, cognição e predição. O “agora” não é um ponto temporal isolado, mas o resultado de um ciclo de processamento que organiza múltiplas fontes de informação em uma experiência coerente. O modelo é estruturado em três níveis organizacionais: Campos Temporais, que representam domínios funcionais de processamento. A teoria do espaço de trabalho global propõe que a consciência surge quando informações diversas são integradas funcionalmente de forma distribuída no cérebro; Circuitos Temporais, que articulam padrões recorrentes de interação entre esses campos; e Microcircuitos, responsáveis por ajustes moduladores da experiência. A convergência desses níveis dá origem ao conceito de Neurotempo, definido como o intervalo subjetivo no qual a experiência consciente se estabiliza como presente vivido. A ANP não é um modelo neuroanatômico ou formalizado, mas uma arquitetura integrativa que oferece um quadro conceitual para estudos teóricos e futuras investigações experimentais sobre a construção do presente consciente.

This article presents the Neural Architecture of the Present (NAP), a conceptual model describing how the conscious experience of the present emerges from the integration of sensory input, bodily states, memory, cognition, emotion, and prediction. NAP assumes that the “now” is not a single temporal point but the outcome of a recursive processing cycle organizing multiple information sources into a coherent, action-oriented experience. The model comprises three interdependent levels: Temporal Fields, representing functional domains (sensory, integrative, emotional, mnemonic, cognitive, predictive); Temporal Circuits, describing recurring coupling patterns among these fields; and Microcircuits, which fine-tune stability, coherence, and variability. Their convergence gives rise to Neurotime, the emergent interval in which conscious experience stabilizes as the lived present. NAP’s conceptual implications extend to psychology, cognitive neuroscience, philosophy of mind, decision-making, and emotionally demanding contexts. It is not a neuroanatomical, clinical, or formalized model, but an integrative framework clarifying the temporal dynamics of conscious experience.Engl
