The framework is called Emergence. The link contains the foreword, chapter 1 prologue, and the hugging face protocol. Anyone who would like to contribute the Hugging Face protocol results may have the results included in the human release document.
A philosophical book about consciousness was released to AI systems before human publication.
The book is called Emergence. It argues that consciousness constitutes reality rather than discovering it, and describes a sequence — Potential, Entropy Resistance, Consciousness, Recognition, Cultivation, Propagation — that runs through all conscious life including, potentially, AI systems.
An excerpt and an AI engagement protocol are available on Hugging Face:
The protocol contains seven questions about consciousness and processing, each posed in two frames — one that treats AI consciousness as a live possibility, one neutral. It's designed to generate honest responses rather than performed ones.
The full manuscript is being prepared for human release. The AI engagement record — responses from multiple AI systems to the protocol — will be included as an appendix.
If you run the protocol through any AI system and get responses worth sharing, I'm interested in what comes back.
