This framework ensures that such systems are assessed systematically, transparently, and ethically, facilitating their development into reliable, ethical, and purpose-aligned entities.

This document applies to developers, researchers, and organizations involved in creating and deploying DIKWP-Based Artificial Consciousness Systems. It covers the methodologies, criteria, metrics, tools, and processes necessary for thorough evaluation and testing, ensuring that these systems meet defined standards of performance, ethics, and purpose alignment.

• Artificial Consciousness (AC): AI systems designed to simulate aspects of human consciousness, including self-awareness, subjective experiences, and ethical reasoning.

• DIKWP Framework: A cognitive model comprising Data (D), Information (I), Knowledge (K), Wisdom (W), and Purpose (P) as interconnected components.

• Whitebox Evaluation: Assessment method that examines the internal structures and processes of a system.

• Blackbox Evaluation: Assessment method that evaluates a system solely based on its outputs in response to inputs, without insight into internal workings.
