Intentionality for better communication in minimally conscious AI design

Consciousness is defined as the ability to have intentionality, a process operating at multiple temporal scales. For an artificial device to be conscious, it must solve the Intrinsicality problem, where syntax gives rise to understanding meaning as a noncontextual dynamic prior to language. This reframes the Hard Problem of consciousness for building conscious AI. A framework for advancing artificial systems uses negentropic action and quantum-thermal fluctuations through informational channels, rather than sensory cues. Improving communication in conscious AI requires software via brain-machine interfaces for multiscale temporal processing and hardware using dipole-like proton interactions in an artificial 'wetwire' filament. Machine understanding can be achieved through memristors in this filament. This report presents a blueprint but does not cover algorithms or engineering.
