This is a great post BTW. Consciousness does exhibit hypersetual(sic) behavior and combining that with virtual multiverses and your model of will you could actually build a robo-mechanical mind that, well if you put it into a little bug like robot would exhibit lifelike behavior. I will have to think about the hyperset consciousness model since it is nice and you can apply it to different approaches to AGI but I don't know if it explains enough or what else is needed to get to higher levels of consciousness as in humans or above. Naturally it would have to be flushed out as is but I'm just wondering if hypersets are the best tools for the primary descriptor of consciousness, they may very well be but will have to do some research on similar mathematical structures to concur as they may just be a pig-in-the-poke.
