As long as I live, I’m trying to unravel the essence of his consciousness.
As a result of elaboration and rejection of numerous dead-end ideas had to abandon the use of such recognized tools such as neural networks and semantic analysis. The first signs of consciousness may develop in the system and without the use of neural networks, and the language appears in the later stages of development of consciousness. However, I believe these directions are technically very important. Once built an active system that can learn and gain useful experience, its perception of the world can be significantly improved using recognition systems based on neural networks, and its soundness can be enhanced by training with the use of semantic-based structures for knowledge transfer. In my algorithm consciousness arise and develop structures that are similar to neural networks, and succinct commands similar to the word.
Consciousness occurs in animals as a means of making them adapt to the environment. Fast (compared to the lifetime of the animal) adaptation requires the ability to anticipate and adapt motif are biological necessities of life of the organism. Artificial system, which has such properties, too, becomes unconscious.
In this article I try to tell you about the work of consciousness in “functional” style. Viewers with trained systems thinking will see this description the interaction of objects, which can be programmed. Small resource algorithm leads me to believe that a very high level of consciousness, until the consciousness of mammals, can be embodied today.
I’m not familiar with international experience in the field of artificial intelligence, do not apply for a new word, and apologize in advance for the repetition of already known ideas without relevant links.
The algorithm of consciousness, which I demonstrate in his study “butterfly and flower,” remembers, structures, uses the experience and trying to satisfy their desires. It can be incorporated both in the ephemeral creature on the screen, and in the toy robot. But the level of his consciousness, achieved without special training, no more than the consciousness of herring. As a result of learning, for example, various games, this level can be compared with the consciousness of the mouse or even a cat. I focused on “pure” self-learning consciousness, and has not yet developed a means of interactive learning. In the algorithms used is not so much brain as a system of interaction with the outside world.
How does the mind? What are the processes, mechanisms, interacting objects requires that arose consciousness and awareness of self? What you need to produce not a model of consciousness, but simply consciousness?
Usually, the word consciousness is used as a characteristic of a single substance. It can “lose consciousness”. A word of reason in principle means the ability to be conscious. For example, “a wise man.” There are other interpretations. But I shall not dwell on the words. Only on why the possibility of consciousness and how it works.
