MECA SAPIENS proposes a definition of consciousness that corresponds to our intuitive understanding of a conscious being and is stated as machine implementable specifications. The best way to acquaint yourself with the MECA SAPIENS definition of consciousness is to: - Read the account of Ulysses and the mermaids to get a general appreciation of the concept of consciousness introduced in MECA SAPIENS.
- Review the brief Definition of consciousness where you will find consciousness defined in terms of functional and existential specifications.
- Look at the three examples to see how these specifications could be implemented in concrete situations.
- Purchase and read The Creation of a Conscious Machine where you will find the complete definition (including the attributes of a self aware being), the argumentation supporting it and other important clarifications.
