A Theory of Consciousness from a Theoretical Computer Science Perspective: Insights from the Conscious Turing MachineBlum, L., & Blum, M. (2022, May 20). A theory of consciousness from a theoretical computer science perspective: Insights from the conscious Turing machine. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), 119 (21).
This paper examines the construct of consciousness using computer science theory as a lens to frame the computational principles surrounding consciousness. The Conscious Turing Machine (CTM), including the Turing Machine (YM), and the global workspace theory (GWT) is used to conceptualize the phenomenon of human consciousness.
