"3948","The roots of self-awareness","In this paper we provide an account of the structural underpinnings of self-awareness. We offer both an abstract, logical account-by way of suggestions for how to build a genuinely self-referring artificial agent-and a biological account, via a discussion of the role of somatoception in supporting and structuring self-awareness more generally. Central to the account is a discussion of the necessary motivational properties of self-representing mental tokens, in light of which we offer a novel definition of self-representation. We also discuss the role of such tokens in organizing self-specifying information, which leads to a naturalized restatement of the guarantee that introspective awareness is immune to error due to mis-identification of the subject.","http://cogprints.org/3948/","Anderson, Dr. Michael L. and Perlis, Prof. Donald R.","UNSPECIFIED","       <span class=\"person_name\">Anderson, Dr. Michael L.</span> and <span class=\"person_name\">Perlis, Prof. Donald R.</span>     (2005)  <a href=\"http://cogprints.org/3948/\"><em>The roots of self-awareness.</em></a>       [Journal (Paginated)]         (In Press)   ","","2005"
