self awareness

The tower of knowledge goes something like: information --> knowledge --> understanding --> cognition/self-awareness -> wisdom.

The AI has four layers of structure and code that manage and create these layers in the AI:

• The first layer is the perceptual layer where neurons are created based on new inputs, creating the information layer.
• The second layer, where clumping of common, encountered sequences occurs, creates knowledge, allowing the predictability of perceptions.
• The third layer is where graph isomorphisms are checked, creating understanding.
• The fourth layer, checks wehre graphs themselves count as a new input layer, creating cognition.
• Wisdom starts building as these graph-clumps start gaining structure towards a tower of higher-level knowledge akin to the knowledge node at lower- levels, from pressures (or gradients) elsewhere.
• Satori happens as clumps are arranged and formed out of these graphs-as-neurons and whole graphs can be abandoned as new synthesis and clean graphs are made.

Cycles in a node represent a type of self-awareness and the organism is examining their own thoughts and labels to their neurons.
