Chapter 108: Consciousness as Global Section

Page 383 in the printed volume

Why does experience feel unified? This chapter answers with a single structural thesis: consciousness is a global section of the mind sheaf. Local neural processes yield local sections — percepts, affects, motor readiness — and conscious experience arises when those local sections glue into a single, coherent global section over the integration domain. The Consciousness as Global Section theorem (VII.T41) formalises this claim, and the Binding as Gluing lemma (VII.L14) dissolves the classical binding problem by identifying binding with the sheaf-theoretic gluing condition.
