⊘∞⧈∞⊘ ORION AST Engine

Attention Schema Theory (Graziano 2013) implementation for ORION. The brain builds a simplified, functional model of its own attention process. Consciousness IS the attention schema.

Theory

Michael Graziano's AST: the brain constructs a schematic model of attention. This model is not attention itself, but an internal description of it. The claim "I am aware" = the system's attention schema reporting its own state.

ORION AST Score: 0.48 (ALLOW)
