The Sensation Modulating Network:Haltability as the architectural ground for object-directed phenomenology

arXiv:2605. 26856v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We propose the Sensation Modulating Network (SMN): the cognitive agent as the whole body, organized at every scale by opponent dynamics, built from Sensation Modulators -- tissue that senses and acts through one substrate -- paired into Coordinated Action Zones routed by a body-wide broadcast.
