Which Consciousness Can Be Artificialized? Local Percept-Perceiver Phenomenon for the Existence of Machine Consciousness

TL;DR

This paper introduces a formal set-theoretic model of machine consciousness based on the local percept-perceiver phenomenon, suggesting the potential for artificial consciousness within computational systems.

Contribution

It presents a novel formal framework for machine consciousness using set theory, bridging neuroscientific observations with artificial system modeling.

Findings

Existence of machine consciousness proved via set theory

Formalization of local percept-perceiver phenomenon

Supports reductionist view of machine epistemic consciousness

Abstract

This paper presents a novel paradigm of the local percept-perceiver phenomenon to formalize certain observations in neuroscientific theories of consciousness. Using this model, a set-theoretic formalism is developed for artificial systems, and the existence of machine consciousness is proved by invoking Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory. The article argues for the possibility of a reductionist form of epistemic consciousness within machines.
