Consciousness vs Self-Awareness Demonstration

The most revolutionary feature is the ability to explicitly compare traditional consciousness emergence with genuine self-awareness:

funxn demonstrate_self_awareness_vs_consciousness():
    print("🧠 === CONSCIOUSNESS vs SELF-AWARENESS DEMONSTRATION ===")
    
    // === TRADITIONAL CONSCIOUSNESS EMERGENCE ===
    item traditional_session = neural_consciousness(consciousness_level: 0.9)
    traditional_session.activate_consciousness()
    
    item traditional_result = traditional_session.analyze_metabolomics(diabetes_data)
    // Output: "89.3% accuracy. High confidence. 47 biomarkers identified."
    
    // === SELF-AWARE NEURAL NETWORKS ===
    item self_aware_session = create_self_aware_neural_system()
    self_aware_session.activate_self_awareness()
    
    item self_aware_result = self_aware_session.analyze_with_metacognition(diabetes_data)
    
    // Get complete metacognitive state
    item meta_state = self_aware_session.get_metacognitive_state()
    
    print("🔍 Reasoning Process:")
    for step in meta_state.reasoning_chain:
        print("   → ", step)
    
    print("\n💭 Current Thoughts: ", meta_state.current_thought_focus)
    print("📊 Thought Quality: {:.1f}%", meta_state.thought_quality_assessment * 100)
    print("🧠 Self-Awareness: {:.1f}%", meta_state.self_awareness_level * 100)
    
    print("\n❓ Uncertainties Identified:")
    for uncertainty in self_aware_result.uncertainties:
        print("   ⚠️ ", uncertainty.description)
        print("      Confidence: {:.1f}%", uncertainty.confidence * 100)
