Hi Mr Adesso,
all this is fascinating and you make a good work for the AI. There are deep unknowns for me probably to add to reach the free will and a kind of consciousness. Maybe the problem is philosophical also about what are the foundamental objects and the origin of this consciousness taking choices in function of encodings, the environments of adaptation and the memory. Maybe the relativity and all our actual technologies correlated with the fields are not sufficient. I told me that even the senses, the DNA, the brians, the microtubules and these deppest unknwons with deeper scalar fields massive and massless are the answer but all this is difficult due to philosophical, mathematical,physical limitations but we evolve and you make a good work for this evolution. The quantum computing and a kind of universal turing machine also must converge, that is why the foundamental objects are important at my humble opinion, best regards
