Title
Consciousness and Automated Reasoning
Abstract
This paper aims at demonstrating how a first-order logic reasoning system in combination with a large knowledge base can be understood as an artificial consciousness system. For this we review some aspects from the area of philosophy of mind and in particular Tononi's Information Integration Theory (IIT) and Baars' Global Workspace Theory. These will be applied to the reasoning system Hyper with ConceptNet as a knowledge base within a scenario of commonsense and cognitive reasoning. Finally we demonstrate that such a system is very well able to do conscious mind wandering.
