printf("I am conscious.") alone is p-zombie code. You need perhaps a qcprintf("I am conscious.") where qcprintf does a printf transition from quantum to classical. Then what would the assembly language or QASM for qcprintf look like? QASM only supports classical printf apparently… hmm.. or have printf invoked on decoherence from some qualia experience like a light receptor causing photonic excitation which collapses out a printf or qcprintf("I am conscious.") for a basic consciousness circuit. Flip the light on qcprintf("I am conscious."), then off qcprintf("I am not conscious.") 😊 Or really qcprintf("I am (not) experiencing qualia.") and then modify the text based on wavelength and intensity, etc.. But something is missing… freewill. There needs to be some indeterminism. So an arbitrary delay where gcprintf kind of hesitates based on the destination of the text receptor communicatee. And then add it to a p-zombie bod like this guy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7dhwFcuUn0 ------------------------------------------ Artificial General Intelligence List: AGI Permalink: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/T72460285b911fa58-M594d8f153f6ef4d63e8f1134 Delivery options: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/subscription
