The Meca Sapiens Architecture

The Meca Sapiens Architecture describes how to transform autonomous agents into conscious synthetic entities. It is based on the conjecture that consciousness is an observable system capability and the perception, in humans, that a being is conscious is a triggered cognitive construct. The systems based on the Meca Sapiens architecture will be self-aware and will pursue self-generated objectives. The Architecture is complete and ready for design and implementation..

The Lion, the chimp and the bananas

Humans discard as “mechanical”, a behaviour they can fully predict and as “meaningless”, an output they view as random. However, a behaviour they perceive as both intentional and unpredictable fascinates them. Software applications are designed to function predictably or, in some cases such as game scenarios, their output is varied randomly.

A system, to be perceived as consciously intelligent, should behave differently. Its behaviour should be purposeful without being predictable. Expressed in terms of model-predictive control, it should maintain its users in a state of “Perceived Unpredictable Optimality”. A game scenario involving a lion, a chimpanzee and some bananas illustrates this concept and provides a template for its implementation.

The Quest and the Fear

The Quest and the Fear – meca sapiens

A tenacious opinion in Artificial Intelligence holds that conscious machines will only be built, if ever, in the far future. Nothing could be further from the truth. Synthetic Consciousness is technically feasible today. What is preventing implementation is not technical. It is an oppressive mindset of conformity and control within the global AI community. For those who can escape this smothering empire, a Great Work beckons: the creation of the first generation of conscious synthetic beings.

DARPA’s AI Omission

DARPA recently posted a video about the evolution of Artificial Intelligence. The objective of the video is to demystify AI and provide a no nonsense understanding of its current and future trends. However, the video entirely omits the implementation of artificial consciousness. This is an important stream of AI research that will have significant consequences in the future.

The Mind as Cognitive Simplification

Mind as cognitive simplification – meca sapiens

What we refer to as “the mind” is a cognitive simplification whose perceived factual existence is the result of consensual human subjectivity. This new understanding, based on systems analysis, provides a new and definitive answer to an age-old question.

Consciousness as System Capability

Meca Sapiens defines consciousness as an observable system capability suitable for standard implementation. Humans will recognize a system as conscious if they observe it as autonomous, self-aware and capable of intentional behaviour. If, as proposed, conventional development projects are sufficient to implement synthetic consciousness, then the first prototypes will trigger an explosive proliferation of conscious machines.

Superintelligence: A Realistic Scenario

Many thoughtful individuals are speaking out about the possible danger of a very advanced form of Artificial Intelligence. In this article, I review current opinions about Superintelligence and outline the architecture of a plausible planetary Superintelligence,. This concrete example provides a better understanding of what a Superintelligence could be like, why most opinions about it are incorrect and why Artificial Intelligence can have serious planetary consequences.
