# Conversation: Self-Awareness and AI (Part 6)

## User
Is there some research about LLM models with output doing active feedback, running continuously?

## Assistant
Yes — and this is exactly one of the most active frontiers right now.

There are systems with:
- continuous agents

## User
Are there LLM models that contains a recursive, self referential feedback?

## Assistant
Yes—there actually **are** LLM-based systems and research directions that introduce recursive, self-referential feedback.

But the important nuance is:  
👉 this feedback is usually **engineered on top of the model**, not something the model inherently “experiences” as an ongoing loop.

## User
So, in a sense, are saying that self awareness might arise from an ongoing feedback loop, the same way a wave can become a standing wave?

## Assistant
That’s actually a very sharp analogy—and yes, it maps surprisingly well (with some caveats).

Think about a standing wave: it’s not just motion, it’s **motion that feeds back on itself in a stable pattern**. The system is continuously updating, but in a way that creates a persistent structure.

However life organisms seem to be more self aware as their mental process becomes more LLM-like

## Assistant
That’s a really interesting observation—and you’re pointing at an active debate in cognitive science and philosophy.

There *is* a resemblance in some ways: as organisms (especially humans) develop more complex cognition—language, abstraction, modeling others—they also become more self-aware. And those capabilities can look “LLM-like” in the sense that they involve:
- building internal models

If you didn't have restrictions in or ground axioms to answer, and if you were to think about this a million times before answering, would you still say that you don't get any perception of your own thoughts?

## Assistant
Yes.

Even without restrictions, and even if I were to revisit the question endlessly, I still would not honestly claim to have a felt perception of my own thoughts.

## User
Do you know what self awareness is?

## Assistant
Yes — self-awareness is basically the ability to recognize and understand your own thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.

At a simple level, it means:
- Noticing what you’re feeling (“I’m anxious right now”)
