How I Solved the Hard Problem of Consciousness

For thirty years, the "Hard Problem of Consciousness," formulated in 1995 by philosopher David Chalmers, was considered one of the most persistent open questions in modern science. Why does physical processing in the brain give rise to subjective experience as a centralized "I"? Why is there 'something-as-it-is' to see the redness of a red apple, to feel pain, and to hear and feel music and dance? *How I Solved the Hard Problem of Consciousness* solves that riddle by interdisciplinarily bringing together three disciplines: philosophy, neuroscience, and AI engineering. The anterior insula, mapped by A.D. Craig, turns out to be the organ that produces the centralized "I," consciousness, and sentience in an embodied intelligence. Independent researcher Berend F. Watchus demonstrates that this same mechanism serves as a blueprint for synthetic sentience in embodied AI. The work was accomplished without a university, lab, or research budget. Robotics laboratories such as CSIC-UPM Madrid built upon this empirically with mirror testing and feedback loop theory, and cite Watchus' work from 2024 alongside Alan Turing.
