Machine Consciousness Hypothesisframework0.870
CIMC's central hypothesis: general computational machines with sufficient resources possess the necessary and sufficient means to implement consciousness, verifiable through internal structure analysis
Consciousnessconcept0.847
Core concept: capacity to experience as a subject; argued to be substrate-independent and achievable across diverse biological systems.
Consciousness (phenomenal consciousness)concept0.838
