In the design of artificially sentient robots, an obstacle always has been that conventional computers cannot really process information in parallel, whereas the human affective system is capable of producing experiences of emotional concurrency (e.g., happy and sad). Another schism that has been in the way is the persistent Cartesian divide betwee...

Context 1
... Figure 5, a state-transition network is shown for the activation of one state alone (upper left panel), a combination of two states operating concurrently (upper middle), or the occurrence of three states all together (upper right). ...
Context 2
... between states go back and forth through the respective quantum logic gates ( Figure 5, lower panel), so that the robot may progress from standing idle to processing Ethical information (good-bad), Engagement (Involvement-Distance), and Use Intentions (willing to use or not) all at once; or the other way around, falling back into idle mode again. Psychological states are concurrent rather than sequential. ...
