- <p>This paper proposes a phenomenological framework in which consciousness functions<br>as the domain of convergence between ontic reality (what exists) and epistemic<br>structure (what is known). Contemporary approaches often treat ontology and<br>epistemology as separable, leaving the role of lived experience under-theorized.<br>Drawing on the philosophy of information, the paper argues that information comprises<br>not only physical representations, but also abstract meaning and interpretive rules,<br>which are not themselves governed by physical law. While physical representations are<br>subject to causal and spatiotemporal constraints, meaning is realized only within<br>experience.<br>To articulate this relationship, the paper develops a triadic model distinguishing ontic,<br>epistemic, and phenomenological domains. Within this model, phenomenological<br>consciousness is not treated as an ontologically independent substance or a product of<br>physical processes alone, but as the experiential field in which physical reality and<br>abstract meaning are unified as lived understanding. Neural activity is interpreted as<br>mediating, rather than ontologically producing, conscious experience.</p>
