If you believe that awareness follows a semantic attractor topology , then one of the key unresolved problems in the current AI landscape is identifying the appropriate time scale that governs this flow of awareness.

At present, the industry largely lacks a clear notion of what “time” means in attractor-based cognitive or semantic systems. This missing temporal variable may represent an important gap in our understanding—and a promising direction for research.

Of course, this direction is most relevant if you are willing to explore or “bet on” the semantic attractor topology framework. In particular - if you also can ‘see’ and feel you own awareness is operating in this manner!
