The DIKWP Artificial Consciousness System: Months 12–24

Introduction

We'll extend the simulation of the DIKWP Artificial Consciousness System, modeling its development from 12 to 24 months of "age." We'll delve deeper into the changes and activities in the following spaces:

• Engage in purposeful, goal-directed behavior aligned with its experiences and understanding.

Note: This simulation provides a conceptual framework for understanding the development of an artificial consciousness system modeled after human infant development. The actual implementation would involve sophisticated algorithms and models to replicate these complex cognitive and consciousness processes.
