Perception and consciousness can be reformulated as intrinsic properties of resonant dynamics in recurrent neural circuits. Despite extensive empirical characterization of cortical activity, existing models lack a principled mechanism explaining how temporally structured sensory inputs give rise to stable and reproducible perceptual states. Here, I introduce Resonance of Closed Neural Network Geometries (RCNNG), a theoretical framework in which the physical properties of sensory inputs induce the formation of physically instantiated closed neural geometries whose resonance profiles reflect the temporal—spectral structure of the input. These closed geometries arise from resonant patterns of the frequency spectrum in the repeating network, but the perceptual similarity does not depend on the geometric or topological similarity of the physical structures themselves. Instead, perceptual equivalence emerges when distinct physical geometries map to identical resonant identities in a higher-dimensional resonance state space constituting an intrinsic property of the resonant closed graph and its mapping into a perceptual state space. Dynamical systems analysis and simulations of adaptive recurrent networks show that repeated or coherent stimuli drive the system toward stable resonant attractors characterized by closed cycle dynamics encoding perceptual invariants such as color, shape, and multimodal conjunctions. Within this framework, perception corresponds to the resonance of the closed geometry generated by the input, whereas consciousness arises from the simultaneous or sequential resonance of multiple linked or unlinked closed geometries across the network as a whole. This global resonance process gives rise to an intrinsic phenomenological property termed innergence, which characterizes the first-person experiential aspect of resonant state space identities. RCNNG thus distinguishes between the physical formation of closed neural geometries and their resonant identities, providing a unified account of perceptual stability, memory recall, reactivation of sensory experiences, and the emergence of conscious experience.
