New architecture proposed for machine consciousness theory

Researchers have proposed a new five-layer architecture for implementing the S3Q theory of consciousness, which outlines conditions for machine qualia. This architecture integrates existing computational primitives to fulfill S3Q's requirements: grounded sensorimotor situatedness, internal simulation via a world model, and structural coherence between predictions and observations. The proposed system aims to develop a basic sense of self by linking actions to outcomes, with behavior categorized into hesitation, curiosity, or avoidance based on outcome valence and surprise. Each prediction made by this system is falsifiable, offering a testable framework for advancing machine consciousness research. AI

IMPACT Offers a testable framework for advancing research into machine consciousness and qualia.
