About this paper
Xiangbin Zhao
The authors propose a current-augmented world model that maintains a current state, attributes its source, and supports continuation after perturbation. Their theory derives the “Observer” from finite-resource processing of continuous input; source attribution is generated, not verified. In a toy simulation, 7–8% of about 2,000 configurations showed double occupancy, at most two; this supports a conditional mechanism, not consciousness.
