Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the following question: how could you write such computer programs that can work like conscious beings? The motivation behind this question is that we want to create such applications that can see the future. The aim of this paper is to provide an overall conceptual framework for this new approach to machine consciousness. So we introduce a new programming paradigm called Consciousness Oriented Programming (COP).
