Is a "Phi-Zero" AI architecture viable for safe robotics?

Researchers propose a non-conscious AI architecture called 'Phi-Zero' for safe robotics, inspired by slime molds and siphonophores, which is architecturally guaranteed to have zero integrated information (Φ=0) through strict feedforward flow, modular fragmentation, and stateless operation.

A non-conscious AI architecture inspired by slime molds and siphonophores, explicitly designed to maintain $\Phi = 0$ Zero Integrated Information . This system is architecturally guaranteed to be non-conscious by: Strict Feedforward Flow: No recurrent loops. Modular Fragmentation: No global workspace or lateral communication. Stateless Operation: Complete memory reset per time step. pip install -r requirements.txt
