Machine Consciousness Frameworks

Theoretical frameworks and architectural blueprints for modeling, implementing, or understanding consciousness in artificial systems. Includes epistemology of machine awareness, self-auditing mechanisms, and philosophical foundations of AI sentience. Does NOT include general cognitive architectures, neuroscience datasets, or AI ethics governance frameworks without explicit consciousness mechanisms.

There are 176 machine consciousness frameworks tracked. 1 score above 50 (established tier). The highest-rated is graphbrain/graphbrain at 58/100 with 634 stars. 1 of the top 10 are actively maintained.
