Categorical AI phenomenology: A first-person approach
Robert Prentner
This paper develops a phenomenology-first approach to artificial consciousness by reframing consciousness as the subjective experience enacted through an agent's interface with the…
Epistemoverse: Toward an AI-Driven Knowledge Metaverse for Intellectual Heritage Preservation
Predrag K. Nikolić, Robert Prentner
Large language models (LLMs) have often been characterized as "stochastic parrots" that merely reproduce fragments of their training data. This study challenges that assumption by…
Artificial Consciousness as Interface Representation
Robert Prentner
Whether artificial intelligence (AI) systems can possess consciousness is a contentious question because of the inherent challenges of defining and operationalizing subjective expe…
Measuring the integrated information of a quantum mechanism
Larissa Albantakis, Robert Prentner, Ian Durham
Originally conceived as a theory of consciousness, integrated information theory (IIT) provides a theoretical framework intended to characterize the compositional causal informatio…
Perfectoid Diamonds and n-Awareness. A Meta-Model of Subjective Experience
Shanna Dobson, Robert Prentner
In this paper, we propose a mathematical model of subjective experience in terms of classes of hierarchical geometries of representations ("n-awareness"). We first outline a genera…
Attracting Sets in Perceptual Networks
Robert Prentner
This document gives a specification for the model used in [1]. It presents a simple way of optimizing mutual information between some input and the attractors of a (noisy) network,…
A Predictive Strategy for the Iterated Prisoner's Dilemma
Robert Prentner
The iterated prisoner's dilemma is a game that produces many counter-intuitive and complex behaviors in a social environment, based on very simple basic rules. It illustrates that…
Pluralist-Monism. Derived Category Theory as the Grammar of n-Awareness
Shanna Dobson, Robert Prentner
In this paper, we develop a mathematical model of awareness based on the idea of plurality. Instead of positing a singular principle, telos, or essence as noumenon, we model it as…
