Core framework under investigation: systematic cycles of self-referential cognitive inspection in AI systems for introspection and consciousness assessment.

cosine ≥ 0.65 · no typed edge

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

Selfingconcept0.782
Process of reifying one's identity as an independent self; meditation practices aim to decrease selfing.
Self-reflectionconcept0.768

Self-Refineframework0.767
Prior self-evolving agent method iteratively improving outputs through self-feedback
self-observationconcept0.767
The ability of a model to observe its own state, measured by Koan Battery; can be lifted by contemplative prompts.
mirror of the self testmethod0.757
A method introduced in Book 1 where observers compare their feeling of self with the life in a candidate thing; Alexander claims it correlates with observed life in thousands of centers.

self-biddingconcept0.751
Raising one's own bid in an auction round with no competing bid since the agent's last bid; a sign of poor auction discipline.
