Artificial life will approach the illusion of self not directly, but by replicating its effect within a model.

• An artificial model replicating mechanisms of self-illusion can test hypotheses and reveal novel affordances for non-human intelligence.hypothesis0.883
  Methodological proposal to integrate knowledge from contemplative and cognitive science into AI/artificial life frameworks.
• An integrated artificial model can address self-illusion effects on affordances by combining information theory, cognitive science, and philosophy.hypothesis0.855
• The notion of self as illusion, as realized in AI and ALife practices, may contribute to novel fields of affordances for non-human intelligence.claim0.831
  Claim that endowing non-human agents with self-illusion awareness expands their affordance repertoire.
• The view of self as illusory, and awareness of this illusion, may augment and qualitatively change the agent’s affordances.claim0.829
  Central thesis of the paper that recognizing self as illusion expands the range of possible actions.
