Beginner’s Guide

Stub at the live path /guides/ai-consciousness. Lessons are not ghostwritten.

Artificial minds put Registers I–IV under pressure. The useful beginner’s discipline is not a tour of discoveries. It is keeping questions apart:

• consciousness
• valence
• cognition
• agency
• moral agency
• identity
• patienthood
• personhood

A system can be good at moral language and still fail any one of these. Register V is a domain, not a fifth philosophy.

Start with Moral Agency Explained.
