| contents | This paper proposes a minimal architecture for body-grounded perspective formation in artificial agents. Extending prior work, the model introduces an interoceptive viability signal, a Fisher-style metric over fused exteroceptive-interoceptive states, and a conative alignment mechanism linking bodily tendency to action readiness. In a reward-free gridworld, conation converts learned bodily tendency into stable body-directed behavior, while body-to-perspective routing allows bodily perturbations to leave a recoverable geometric residue in the perspective latent. This study shows how minimal structural conditions for artificial subjectivity can be operationalized in the phenomenological sense, through the embodied organization of how a world is given to an agent. |
