A conscious machine category is defined for which the process of becoming conscious is important. This is distinguished from the artificial intelligence category of machines and contrasted with being a conscious living organism. An example is given of a neural automaton for which becoming conscious is seen to be equated to the growth of a depictive state structure. Existing works and future possibilities are examined against this categoric distinction.
