A Mind Cannot Be Smeared Across Time

A new academic paper proposes that machine consciousness requires simultaneous computation rather than sequential processing. The research introduces 'Stack Theory' with temporal semantics, arguing that conscious unity depends on objective co-instantiation of mental processes within specific time windows, potentially making software consciousness impossible on purely sequential computer architectures.

Bias by Necessity: Impossibility Theorems for Sequential Processing with Convergent AI and Human Validation

Researchers prove that primacy effects, anchoring, and order-dependence are mathematically inevitable in autoregressive language models due to causal masking constraints. The findings are validated across 12 frontier LLMs and confirmed through human experiments, suggesting cognitive biases represent resource-rational responses to sequential processing rather than design flaws.
