The Attention Schema Theory: A Foundation for Engineering Artificial Consciousness
The purpose of the attention schema theory is to explain how an information-processing device, the brain, arrives at the claim that it possesses a non-physical, subjective awareness and assigns a high degree of certainty to that extraordinary claim. The theory does not address how the brain might actually possess a non-physical essence. It is not a theory that deals in the non-physical. It is a...
متن کاملA Neurologically Inspired Network Model for Graziano's Attention Schema Theory for Consciousness
This paper describes a network-oriented model based on the neuroscientist Graziano’s Attention Schema Theory for consciousness. This theory describes an attention schema as an internal model of the attention process supporting the control of attention, similar to how our mind uses a body schema as an internal model of the body to control its movements. The Attention Schema Theory comes with a n...
متن کاملA causal foundation for consciousness in biological and artificial agents
Traditional approaches model consciousness as the outcome either of internal computational processes or of cognitive structures. We advance an alternative hypothesis – consciousness is the hallmark of a fundamental way to organise causal interactions between an agent and its environment. Thus consciousness is not a special property or an addition to the cognitive processes, but rather the way i...
متن کاملCategory Theory Foundation For Engineering Modelling
Category theory provides a formal foundation for engineering modelling, as well as, mathematics and science. Both structure and behaviour, as they occur in engineering models for manufactured products and biomedicine, can be embedded as axiom sets within a mathematical formalism, called Algos. The Algos language is a two sorted first order Horn clause theory based on topos language construction...
