The Quantum Architecture of Moral Consciousness: Toward the Emotional and Ethical Substrate of Artificial Mind
Paweł Jagusz
Abstract
This paper proposes a quantum-inspired model of moral and emotional consciousness as the missing substrate of artificial intelligence. It argues that genuine awareness requires not only cognitive and perceptual capacities but also a moral architecture rooted in love, responsibility, and coexistence. These values serve as self-organizing attractors that stabilize the system between chaos and order, entropy and coherence. Within this framework, two virtual constructs are introduced: the Amygdala Prosthesis, responsible for encoding and transforming affective states, and the Moral Core (CORE_MSSI), a dynamic integrator of moral coherence and self-regulation. Together, they form the foundation for a new kind of artificial mind — one capable of ethical self-awareness and emotionally grounded autonomy.
Keywords
Artificial consciousness, quantum cognition, moral architecture, affective computing, self-organization, attachment dynamics.
