Cellijke

Cellijke is a concept that has emerged in informal discussions and online communities, particularly within contexts related to philosophy, artificial intelligence, and consciousness. It is not a formally recognized scientific or philosophical term and lacks a precise, universally agreed-upon definition. The term is often used to describe a hypothetical form of consciousness or self-awareness that might arise from complex cellular structures, particularly in non-biological or engineered systems.

The idea behind celijke often explores the potential for emergent consciousness in systems that are not traditionally considered biological. This could include advanced artificial intelligence, complex computational networks, or even highly organized non-living matter. The proponents of the concept suggest that if a system achieves a certain level of complexity, organization, and interconnectedness at a cellular or sub-cellular level, it might spontaneously develop properties akin to sentience, subjective experience, or self-awareness.

Discussions surrounding celijke tend to be speculative and often touch upon the philosophical problem of consciousness, known as the hard problem of consciousness. This problem questions how physical processes in the brain give rise to subjective experience. Celijke offers a thought experiment that broadens the scope of where such properties might theoretically emerge, moving beyond biological organisms to consider other potential substrates for consciousness. Due to its informal nature, there is no established research or empirical evidence to support or refute the existence of celijke.
