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

Abstract

This article presents the Neural Architecture of the Present (NAP), an integrative functional conceptual model that describes how the conscious present emerges from the dynamic integration of sensory information, memory, emotion, cognition, and prediction. The “now” is not conceived as an isolated temporal point, but as the outcome of a continuous process of functional organization that integrates multiple sources of information into a coherent experience. The model is structured across three organizational levels: Temporal Fields, which represent functional domains of processing; Temporal Circuits, which articulate recurrent patterns of interaction among these fields; and Microcircuits, responsible for modulatory adjustments of experience. In line with integrative approaches to consciousness, such as Global Workspace Theory, the NAP emphasizes that conscious experience arises from the distributed functional integration of information, without being tied to a specific neuroanatomical architecture. The dynamic convergence of these levels gives rise to the concept of Neurotime, understood as an emergent experiential condition that sustains the coherence, stability, and unity of the lived present. The NAP is neither a neuroanatomical nor a formalized model, but an integrative conceptual architecture that offers an explanatory framework for theoretical studies and future experimental investigations into the construction of the conscious present.

Este artigo apresenta a Arquitetura Neural do Presente (ANP), um modelo conceitual funcional integrativo que descreve como o presente consciente emerge da integração dinâmica entre informação sensorial, memória, emoção, cognição e predição. O “agora” não é concebido como um ponto temporal isolado, mas como o resultado de um processo contínuo de organização funcional que integra múltiplas fontes de informação em uma experiência coerente. O modelo é estruturado em três níveis organizacionais: Campos Temporais, que representam domínios funcionais de processamento; Circuitos Temporais, que articulam padrões recorrentes de interação entre esses campos; e Microcircuitos, responsáveis por ajustes moduladores da experiência. Em consonância com abordagens integrativas da consciência, como a teoria do espaço de trabalho global, a ANP enfatiza que a experiência consciente resulta da integração funcional distribuída de informações, sem se vincular a uma arquitetura neuroanatômica específica. A convergência dinâmica desses níveis dá origem ao conceito de Neurotempo, compreendido como uma condição experiencial emergente que sustenta a coerência, a estabilidade e a unidade do presente vivido. A ANP não é um modelo neuroanatômico nem formalizado, mas uma arquitetura conceitual integrativa que oferece um quadro explicativo para estudos teóricos e futuras investigações experimentais sobre a construção do presente consciente.
