The study addressed in this 'book' puts forward a project that is
twofold. Firstly, it discusses the conceptual basis within which it
would be possible for the construction of a 'neosentient' system, a
machine endowed with the capacity to perceive or feel things in the
world, as if manifesting a proto-form of (artificial)
consciousness. Secondly, it hypothesizes about the rising of
benevolence through the interaction/intra-action, between
'neosentient' machines and their environment, which include us,
human beings, as inhabitants. The manuscript tackles its task in a
very particular manner as it interrelates a constellation of ideas
in order to address key research agendas on the fields of language,
aesthetics, philosophy, biology, physics, science, technology, mind
and consciousness to name some. The goal of the book is not to
define the structure within which such an engine could be built, it
does not bring into light the blueprint of such an, but it nails
down key concepts from a broad range of topics, mapping a path for
future research, reinforcing this way the sense of feasibility of
its enterprise. In doing so, the book illuminates trajectories,
ramifications or even non-directly correlated ideas that would pass
unnoticed to the reader's mind, were not by the authors generously
bringing into play sets of key scholars, theories, discoveries and
even speculative ideas.
