studying a self-sustainable system by making a mind time machine
We present our pilot study on a special machine that self-sustains its rich dynamics in an open environment. We made a machine called "MTM" (Mind Time Machine) that runs all day long, receiving massive visual data from the environment, processing by an internal neural dynamics with a learning capability, and showing sustainable complex adaptive dynamics. The System's internal time structure is also self-organized as a result of coupling with the environment. By observing MTM over 2 and half months, we argue for the possibility of machine consciousness in an artificial system.
