Abstract: Methods and systems enable an omniphysical mind or descriptive self supportable by a computing device, to evaluate its current platform and seek or build a new or replacement platform. The descriptive system includes infrastructure for translating sensor readings into descriptive terms, comparing the descriptive terms with template requirements, and initiating an action as the result of the comparison. The descriptive system also includes infrastructure for communicating with other platforms to receive information representing functionality and/or sensor readings, to translate the information into descriptive terms, and compare the descriptive terms with template requirements. In evaluating a new or replacement platform, if template requirements are met the descriptive system reports a database that includes symbols, definitions of symbols, and processing rules, which are provided to the new/replacement system, the database comprising an infrastructure of an omniphysical mind.

Abstract: Methods and systems provide the infrastructure supporting an omniphysical mind or descriptive self supportable by a computing device. The infrastructure includes descriptive information capabilities and special symbols that support the capabilities. For example, a system may include at least one processor and memory storing a database that includes symbols, definitions of symbols, and processing rules. Symbol in the database may represent awareness capabilities, a categorization capability, a decision capability, a safety capability, a report capability, and a self-initiate capability. One special symbol may represent the ability of the system to organize and call the other special symbols that support the infrastructure.

Abstract: Methods and systems enable a symbol-based descriptive information system to acquire various forms of awareness, including self-awareness. The methods and systems include an operations specification of awareness for the system, a process for acquiring awareness, and special symbols that support the various forms of awareness. For example, a system may include at least one processor and memory storing a database that includes symbols, definitions of symbols, and processing rules. One symbol in the database may be an awareness symbol and another may be a database symbol. The system may also include memory storing instructions that, when executed, cause the system to acquire awareness of at least one symbol from the database, acquire awareness of the system being aware using the awareness symbol, and acquire awareness of the system's information content and capabilities using the database symbol. The awareness and database symbols allow the system to gain the capability of self-awareness.
