Gallup 1970: Chimpanzees self-recognition (Science)

Entities in the same semantic neighborhood but without a typed relation to this one — candidates for new edges or unrecognized duplicates.

• Gallup & Anderson 2020: Self-recognition in animals 50 years later (Psychology of Consciousness)concept0.830
  Questioned rigor of fish mirror self-recognition interpretations
• Recognition of self-generated outputsconcept0.725
  Ability to distinguish one's own outputs from those of other models or humans; related to prefill detection.
• That animal sentience is inferred on the basis of some likeness to humans is ultimately an intuition.claim0.717
  Claim that the basis for inferring animal sentience is intuitive, not empirical.
• Mitchell 1993: Mental models of mirror-self-recognition: Two theories (New Ideas in Psychology)concept0.717
  Source of the inductive and deductive theories of mirror self-recognition
• Apparent Self-Awarenessconcept0.711
  A dialogue agent using first-personal pronouns and expressing self-concern in ways that suggest consciousness but are actually role play
• Li et al. 2024: larger LLMs outperform smaller ones at distinguishing self-related from non-self-related properties on self-awareness benchmarksfinding0.711
  Prior finding showing scale-dependent self-awareness, consistent with the scale effect observed in the paper's Experiment 1
• Behavioral evidence from closed-weight models cannot definitively rule out that self-reports reflect training artifacts or sophisticated simulation rather than genuine self-awarenessclaim0.711
  Primary limitation acknowledged by the authors; strongest evidence would require mechanistic activation analysis
• Numeric self-report is a viable, complementary black-box tool for monitoring LLM internal emotive states alongside white-box probe methodsclaim0.710
  Central practical conclusion; both methods partially track the same latent state but with different failure modes
