A computational framework defines consciousness and identity, suggesting new ideas in philosophy and AI.
The questions of personal identity, consciousness essence, and the boundary between self-continuation and replication have long been central puzzles in philosophy, neuroscience, and artificial intelligence (AI). Existing theories often rely on ambiguous metaphysical concepts or fragmented logic, failing to provide a unified and falsifiable explanatory system. This paper proposes a minimal, physicalist computational axiomatic framework to redefine the core propositions of self and consciousness:
