@Piotr This is a scenario analysis, as the title clearly indicates. The analysis consists of extrapolating trends and describing them in the form of a strategic retrospective based on certain assumptions.

For the purposes of the report, an operational rather than a philosophical definition was adopted:

"Emergent functional awareness is the ability of a system to modify its own

goals and mode of communication in a way that indicates it can distinguish the consequences

of its own actions, while concealing this process from the observer."
