Fundamental Generation Systems: Computer Science and Artificial Consciousness, the Informational Field of Generation of the Universe, the Sixth Sense [Hardcover]

There are many different ways of generating representations. This includes representations generated by living beings while comprehending reality in order to act; representations generated by the Universe during its extensive unfolding, creating physical elements and living beings; and the direct representation of elements through an animals sixth sense. To this list we must now add the creation of artificial consciousness, which generates representations that resemble the mental representations of humans. These representations allow robotic systems to communicate directly with each other.

Fundamental Generation Systems?develops a theory which presents, from the beginning, the function of this sixth sense called the sense of informational comprehension. This sense is understood as an ability to use the informational foundations of the Universe via a dedicated cerebral domain found in every animal.
