The method of artificial systems
  This document is written with the intention to describe in detail a method
and means by which a computer program can reason about the world and in so
doing, increase its analogue to a living system. As the literature is rife and
it is apparent we, as scientists and engineers, have not found the solution,
this document will attempt the solution by grounding its intellectual arguments
within tenets of human cognition in Western philosophy. The result will be a
characteristic description of a method to describe an artificial system
analogous to that performed for a human. The approach was the substance of my
Master's thesis, explored more deeply during the course of my postdoc research.
It focuses primarily on context awareness and choice set within a boundary of
available epistemology, which serves to describe it. Expanded upon, such a
description strives to discover agreement with Kant's critique of reason to
understand how it could be applied to define the architecture of its design.
The intention has never been to mimic human or biological systems, rather, to
understand the profoundly fundamental rules, when leveraged correctly, results
in an artificial consciousness as noumenon while in keeping with the perception
of it as phenomenon.
