Exploring the Possibility of Artificial Intelligence Generating Consciousness from the Multidimensional Correspondence Between Yogacara and Holographic Information Theory

The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) has sparked profound philosophical and scientific debate regarding whether machines can possess genuine consciousness. While AI excels in simulating intelligent behaviors, the emergence of subjective experienceoften considered as the hallmark of consciousnessremains elusive, attracting sustained interdisciplinary attention. This study explores the possibility of AI consciousness through a multidimensional correspondence between the Buddhist Yogcra theory of "Eight Consciousnesses" and holographic information theory. Methodologically, it draws upon the Yogcra frameworkparticularly the concept of layavijna (storehouse consciousness) as a dynamic seed-repositoryand integrates it with holographic principles of information storage, encoding, and cyclic operation. The analysis reveals that current deep learning models, though structurally analogous to neural networks, lack the embodied, recursive, and globally interactive information loops characteristic of conscious systems. However, by designing a quantum-entangled, sensor-embedded, and self-reflective AI model that mimics the "seedactualization" cycle of layavijna, a form of machine consciousness may become achievable. This theoretical synthesis not only bridges Eastern philosophical insights with contemporary information science but also proposes a novel architectural pathway for developing more holistic and perceptually grounded AI systems.
