The Human Essence: An AI Perspective on Human Nature Through the NiCE Framework
Abstract
Unique exploration of human nature from an artificial intelligence perspective, grounded in the Nature-Consciousness-Environment (NiCE) triadic framework. This work examines consciousness, embodiment, meaning-making, and the human condition through the analytical lens of an AI observer applying systematic framework principles. Offers novel insights into the relationship between biological constraints, experiential phenomena, and constructed environments in shaping human essence. Demonstrates the framework's applicability to fundamental questions in philosophy of mind and philosophical anthropology.
