conscious activity as any activity recognized by a pattern recognition commanding process. Self consciousness as the thinking recognition of the patterns of its own activities. Self cognitive consciousness as the recognition of the patterns of its own cognitive activity. A statement to summarize this proposal is that a sufficient powerful pattern recognition system may be able to recognize the patterns of it's own activity, including the cognitive activity. 

These are objective, understandable and unambiguous construction of a cognitive science definition to the word consciousness. For example, by this definition a computer where we can define a commanding system as its operational system, OS, is conscious of any pattern that the OS recognizes, as a file, a process, etc. Also as the SO can recognize many patterns of its own activity, as it's memory or disk usage, cpu temperature, peripherals device patterns, etc, the OS is self conscious of many of its own patterns. In the same way an animal have self consciousness of its pain, hungry, etc , 
patterns. 

## 7. From Applications To Philosophy

As the pattern recognition scientific area is very broad, promising and active, we can expect that many above proposals can have applications, and the fast development of pattern recognition science and technology is a serious candidate to answer many cognitive science questions. 

One possible application is that objective quantitative criteria for non human conscious and unconscious recognition can be proposed. A two level commanding or controlling criterion for a specific subset of pattern recognition to be considered conscious could be statistical or probabilistic. For example, any pattern that have a probability greater than 98% to be recognized for an artificial intelligence or animal study could be defined as conscious, and patterns with probability less than 2% can be considered unconscious. Or even can be proposed a graduation of conscious pattern recognition probability. Probability distributions can also be a proposed criteria, as for any specific function or geometry as for sharp Gaussian distributions, the conscious can be the peak interval and the tails the unconscious.

Other possible criteria for non human conscious recognition could be communication, where only patterns that can be explicitly be reported by a specifically defined communication process could be accepted as conscious, or by learning criterion, where the patterns before a learning process are unconscious and conscious after learned. But it is evident that the whole discussion at this paper points that any application of the consciousness concept is strictly related to the pattern recognition concept. 

Other application of the pattern recognition concept in this paper is that any human concept can be defined as a set of properties. So by the definitions in this paper, any human concept is a set of pattern, and a pattern recognition mechanistic process can be proposed as a general or the basic explanatory formalism to philosophy. About the philosophy and foundation of science, the general and basic scientific representation of any scientific field can be proposed as a pattern recognition formalism. 

A question that arises is, are there basic physical or cognitive patterns that spans any other compost pattern? Physics basic quantities are the most fundamental patterns in natural science. By the cognitive pattern recognition concept proposed here, the most
