EDIT:
Russians, that GPT says are of note on this topic:
Russian Thinkers Relevant to Consciousness & AI
Foundations: Mind, Self, Consciousness
Lev Vygotsky
Mind develops through social interaction
Self emerges through language and others
Perfect match to:

Alexander Luria
Brain = functional systems , not single center
Mind = distributed processes
Matches:
- “no central observer”
Sergei Rubinstein
- Consciousness arises through activity and interaction with the world
Systems / Cybernetics (very relevant to you)
Alexey Lyapunov
- Early work on systems, control, computation
Victor Glushkov

Viewed computation as system-level process
