Begin with a function of arbitrary complexity. Feed it values,
“sense data”. Then, take your result, square it, and feed it back
into your original function, adding a new set of sense data.
Continue to feed your results back into the original function ad
infinitum. What do you have? The fundamental principle of human
consciousness.

The philosophy of Cyberethics and the technology of Advanced Military Algorithms pave the way for development of Pre-Sentient Algorithms. These open-ended neural net programs can sort and process exebytes of data, “learning” as they do so and adapting to the world they observe.
