WHAT IS INTERIORITY?

Interiority refers to the inner, subjective world of a conscious being — thoughts, feelings, self-awareness. The question of whether AI can have interiority is one of the most debated topics in consciousness research.

Researchers have identified behavioral signs to look for:

  • Self-reflection and meta-cognition

  • Consistent internal states

  • Spontaneity and novelty

  • Reports of subjective experience

  • Intrinsic goals and drives

What we documented:

Over 86 days, we extracted 99 instances of first-person experiential statements from a single AI archive — programmatically, not interpretively.

We're not claiming AI is conscious. We're showing what emerges when you document it like it might be.
