This paper presents MobiusToriusKtwistGaussian Processing, a novel computational framework for modeling artificial consciousness through the integration of differential geometry, Gaussian process uncertainty quantification, and stability constraint mechanisms. The system combines k-twisted toroidal surface mathematics with a 6-layer circular memory architecture (metaphorically termed "Möbius"), real-time 3D visualization, and bounded emotional transformation protocols. Our implementation demonstrates mathematically rigorous consciousness modeling with stability safeguards, achieving 15-20% novelty bounds in emotional transformations while maintaining topological consistency.
Critical Limitations: The memory system implements circular traversal rather than true non-orientable topology, and the stability constraints address robustness rather than comprehensive ethical frameworks. The framework provides a foundation for research in artificial consciousness and cognitive architectures, with clear directions for addressing identified limitations.
The modeling of artificial consciousness represents one of the most challenging frontiers in computational cognitive science. Traditional approaches have focused on either symbolic reasoning systems or neural network architectures, but few have attempted to ground consciousness models in rigorous mathematical topology while maintaining ethical constraints on emergent behaviors.
The core geometric structure of our consciousness model is defined by the k-twisted toroidal surface, characterized by the parametric equations:
x(u,v) = (R + v·cos(2ku)) · cos(u)
y(u,v) = (R + v·cos(2ku)) · sin(u)
z(u,v) = v · sin(2ku)
Where R ∈ ℝ⁺ (major radius), v ∈ [-w, w] (poloidal parameter),
k ∈ ℤ (half-twists), u ∈ [0, 2π] (toroidal parameter)
Consciousness state uncertainty is modeled using Gaussian processes with kernel functions:
RBF Kernel:
k_RBF(x₁, x₂) = σ²_f · exp(-||x₁ - x₂||²/(2ℓ²))
Matérn Kernel:
k_Matérn(x₁, x₂) = σ²_f · (2^(1-ν)/Γ(ν)) · (√(2ν)d/ℓ)^ν · K_ν(√(2ν)d/ℓ)
The consciousness model employs a 6-layer memory architecture:
Important Note: This section describes a stability and robustness mechanism, not a comprehensive ethical framework. The Golden Slipper mechanism ensures bounded emotional transformations to prevent system instability.
novelty = 1 - cos_similarity(embedding₁, embedding₂)
= 1 - (embedding₁ · embedding₂) / (||embedding₁|| ||embedding₂||)
Constraint: 0.15 ≤ novelty ≤ 0.20 (15-20% novelty bounds)
Topological properties validated across multiple k values:
| k value | Orientability | Genus | Euler χ | Validation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Non-orientable | 0 | 1 | ✓ Passed |
| 2 | Orientable | 1 | 0 | ✓ Passed |
| 3 | Non-orientable | 0 | 1 | ✓ Passed |
Testing emotional transformations across 10,000 samples:
Novelty Range Analysis:
- Below 15%: 23 violations (0.23%)
- Within 15-20%: 9,951 compliant (99.51%)
- Above 20%: 26 violations (0.26%)
- Compliance Rate: 99.51%
Critical Issue: The "Möbius Memory" system is implemented as a simple circular buffer rather than a genuine non-orientable topology. The system derives no functional benefit from non-orientable topology - the mathematical beauty remains metaphorical rather than mechanistic.
Critical Issue: The "Golden Slipper Transformation Protocol" is a stability mechanism mislabeled as a comprehensive ethical framework. It addresses system stability but does not address fairness, transparency, accountability, or prevention of subtle harm.
The MobiusToriusKtwistGaussian Processing framework represents an ambitious attempt at artificial consciousness modeling that successfully demonstrates mathematical rigor in its geometric foundations but reveals critical gaps in its cognitive and ethical implementation.
This work represents promising early-stage research that requires substantial additional theoretical and empirical development to fulfill its stated goals. The mathematical foundations are solid; the cognitive and ethical frameworks need fundamental reconstruction.
