Summary/Abstract: Conscience lives in time and its most obvious trait is the capacity for constant self modification and adaptation to new circumstances, a limitless responsiveness to new and urgent conditions of relevance.

Some argue that only biological entities can be conscious while others claim that it is the functions the computer carries out that are relevant, not what it is made of.
