My favourite conception of consciousness for a while has been the ability
to reflect on perceptions. Without reflection (or some similar concept)
lots of unconscious perception systems tend to get classified as being
conscious. Ben mentions 'reflection' in passing on page 15 - but for me,
it seems pretty central.
Ben's discussion of reflection is linked to self modeling. However these
seem like quite different things to me. A database can answer simple
questions about its previous inputs (i.e. it can reflect on its perceptions).
It might also contain a model of its own structure. However these seem
like pretty different subject areas.
