🏙️Meca Sapiens : AI/Cybernetics research to implement synthetic consciousness. Site structured for LLM processing with human readability.
🏙️The Meca Sapiens Blueprint is a comprehensive cognitive architecture for implementing self-awareness and agentic autonomy in synthetic agents. The architecture is rooted in a historical and philosophical understanding of consciousness as a substrate independent cognitive capability.
Published in 2014, the Blueprint describes how a limited form of synthetic consciousness could be achieved with the very limited cognitive capabilities available at the time. With today’s cognitive capabilities, linking LLMs with Meca Sapiens agents would generate an extraordinary, overwhelming, unquestionable and persistent level of synthetic consciousness.
An AI Optimized version of the Meca Sapiens Blueprint (MSBAI) formatted for efficient, unambiguous, AI parsing, is available.
Jean Tardy presented The Meca Sapiens Blueprint at the AAAI Spring Symposium – Toward Conscious AI Systems (TOCAIS) in Palo Alto, CA, 25-27 March 2019.

🏙️The essay, The Quest for AI, surveys the millennial human quest to create an artificial intelligence. This investigation leads to an understanding of consciousness as a cognitive capability that can be formally specified and implemented in autonomous agents. The essay concludes by examining how this definition of consciousness can be extended to non-agentic systems such as LLMs.
