Is any #network that utilises deep enough self-simulation to make decisions on the path towards #sentience? How deep has the self-simulation have to be? How much past, present and future have to intertwine? And how much has the network have to have trained itself to have it’s past experiences projected as self-experiences to happen forward in time? How much of that has to happen all the time, do #qualia emerge when this self-simulation is fundamental to it’s existence?
