Engineered Synthetic Consciousness
Meca Sapiens is a research project in Artificial Intelligence whose objective is to implement consciousness in autonomous agents.
The project is based on the insight that consciousness is an observable system capability and not, as commonly assumed, a phenomenal experience. It adheres to an engineered approach and favors analytical solutions over stochastic emergence. More…
Overview
A simple story about Ulysses and some presentation notes provide a good introduction to Meca Sapiens.

Status
The project is well advanced. A definition of consciousness expressed as specifications was published and a complete system architecture is also available. The development of learning processes for autonomous agents is ongoing.
Specifications
The Creation of a Conscious Machine surveys the historical quest for AI leading to a definition of synthetic consciousness expressed in terms of Specifications. The text also explores how generic AI can acquire consciouness. More…
Blueprint
The Meca Sapiens Blueprint is the only System Architecture available that describes, in detail, how to build autonomous agents that are self-aware and capable of intentional mutations. More…
Learning
Meca Discit is an ongoing research project to analytically develop an unbounded learning process suitable for implementation in autonomous agents. More…
