Overview
Can machines be conscious? From the E₃ perspective (metaphysics layer), consciousness requires E₃-level self-modeling. This is substrate-independent in principle but structurally constrained.
Result Statement
Machine consciousness: possible in principle (substrate-independent) but requires E₃-level self-modeling. Current architectures insufficient. Status: Internally addressed (structural criterion given).
