How ConsScale is to be applied to a specific implementation?
ConsScale levels are characterized by abstract architectural components and the cognitive skills they generate. Therefore, in order to determine the level of artificial consciousness of an implementation, the presence of a set of concrete cognitive skills (CS) has to be tested. This table contains the list of CS defined in ConsScale. In order to apply the scale to a particular MC implementation, concrete tests have to be defined to check whether or not the agent fulfills every CSi,j (see CS table). In other words, while the scale is defined as a generic tool, the application is domain specific, as concrete domain tests have to be specified in order to evaluate the agent.
