I'm not sure that it makes sense to regard any instance of an entity engaging in stimulus response behavior as being equivalent to self-awareness -- in fact, other comments in this thread include arguments that because humans often res

What sort of 'actions' do those studies pertain to, though? Simple stimulus-response exercises? If so, I don't think anyone is denying the existence of reflexive or conditioned responses to external stimuli, but that in its

Interoperability seems very "classic" to me -- the "modern" trend is to try to turn everything into a walled garden that diverges from common interface conventions and stops supporting standard protocols.

"K" is usually a short form of "okay", which is either an affirmative response to a yes/no question, or an acknowledgment of receiving an informmational message, depending on context. In most cases, this is a usefu
