Abstract
This paper presents a novel paradigm of the local percept-perceiver phenomenon to formalise certain observations in neuroscientific theories of consciousness. Using this model, a set-theoretic formalism is developed for artificial systems, and the existence of machine consciousness is proved by invoking Zermelo–Fraenkel set theory. The article argues for the possibility of a reductionist form of epistemic consciousness within machines.
