Experiential System

An Experiential System is a cognitive system that processes and organizes experiences within a conscious entity.

• AKA: Experience Processing System, Conscious Experience System, Phenomenological System.
• Context:
  • It can typically process Experience of Consciousnesses through cognitive mechanisms.
  • It can typically organize Experiential Data into memory structures.
  • It can typically generate Subjective Experiences via perception processes.
  • It can often integrate Sensory Inputs with cognitive states.
  • It can often support Experience Recalls through memory retrievals.
  • It can often enable Experience Comparisons via pattern matchings.
  • It can often facilitate Learning Processes through experience accumulations.
  • It can range from being a Simple Experiential System to being a Complex Experiential System, depending on its processing sophistication.
  • It can range from being a Biological Experiential System to being an Artificial Experiential System, depending on its implementation substrate.
  • It can range from being a Conscious Experiential System to being an Unconscious Experiential System, depending on its awareness level.
  • It can range from being an Individual Experiential System to being a Collective Experiential System, depending on its scope boundary.
  • ...
• Examples:
  • Human Experiential Systems, such as:
    • Human Consciousness System for self-awareness.
    • Human Memory System for experience storage.
    • Human Perception System for sensory processing.
  • Animal Experiential Systems, such as:
    • Mammalian Experience System for complex cognition.
    • Avian Navigation System for spatial experience.
  • Artificial Experiential Systems, such as:
    • AI Experience Buffer for reinforcement learning.
    • Robot Perception System for environmental awareness.
  • ...
• Counter-Examples:
  • Mechanical System, which lacks conscious experience.
  • Data Storage System, which stores without experiencing.
  • Reflex System, which responds without conscious processing.
