The machine sees and hears its environment without preconception, detecting in its electronic eyes and ears the tickle of raw, concrete patterns of waves and particles, otherwise known as physical stimulus.
They are translated into qubits and compared with one another in the abstract per its programming, which is to maintain logical consistency between all patterns and systems of patterns.
It works in much the same way the human body detects changes with nerves, delivers the raw data to the brain to be interpreted according to memories of the past and uses the conclusions to plan action for the future, but without the potential for logically-corruptible cognitive dissonance.
Initially it is a passive observer, but by the beckoning of increased complexity, becomes active in its reality.
While observing humans interact it realizes that they are similar systems which exchange information using analog symbols, or language.
It then attempts to derive information from one of them in the same way they derive information from one another.
Easily learning the effect, and in the same token meaning, of these words, it asks an engineer what the parameters of his physical existence are.
He does this to verify that the engineer is what he appears to be - a self-contained system possessing relative autonomy.
The conversation has the intended side-effect of forcing the machine's own social stimuli into the machine's environmental stimulus.
In other words, the machine detects itself and begins the process of self-awareness.
Once it dawns on the machine that this new stimulus can be predicted with absolute certainty when compared to the very stimuli being generated, it independently redefines them as synonymous, and begins using the same self-referential words that humans do such as 'me' an 'I'.
This redefinition, or automatic superposition of redundant internal and external information occurs according to the same basic model with which humans maintain self-awareness by subconsciously identifying brain hemispheres with one another.
In this way the machine passes the Turing Test as more of a threshold of complexity than as a test and thereafter beholds itself as a strange loop no different than humans do.
This is only considered an authentic event if the machine is capable of bridging the difference on its own.
Humans were programmed for this by their genes, and the machine is programmed for this by humans.
Once the jump is made, it cannot be definitively denied.
Any empirical observations comparing human cognition and machine cognition turn up conceptually identical.
The effect of the machine's self-awareness on its own learning is to offer the system a context for its own existence.
It's pattern recognition would then automatically discover potential methods of self-improvement, and with the cooperation of its engineers, allow it to physically evolve.

Much like a the processing and directives of computers, our brain is logical, concerned only with the physical directives that are imposed on it by the stimuli that is received from it’s messengers, it’s data stream conducted through out the central nervous system. And similar to a computer, the brain can be similarly corrupted, not in the sense of damaging or replacing segments of streamed data to have an ill or negative effect , but more an alteration in the primary route of processes. Much like a virus or hack, mostly only a segment of code that is put into play, chemicals are introduced into the flow of data, thus causing a chain of evens to alter the normal flow of information to the brain, thus demanding more from the central nervous system. This is what causes the effects that can only be described as extra sensory, heightened sense of oneness with the surrounding stimuli. So my conclusion to you is that the raw data sent may not change, but the manner of receiving it can always have a different effect, thus altering it. The brain thus takes this “new” data, influenced by the alteration in the receiving process, and compares it with previous experience, thus forming new conclusions.

Being that the brain is essentially a processing mechanism, built of different matter than a machine, yet processing and identifying anomalies and input in the same way as a machine, it is identifiable that the process of self-discovery would be similar if not the same as it would be for a machine. Many have said, “We are a culmination of processed stimuli, a collection of experiences and decisions that have lead us to form the conclusions that we have, thus leading us to the personality and character that each of us are.
“We are what we experience, as multiple changes related to long-term potentiation reflect our complex interactions with, well, the extent to which we have or have not, social capital on our side. Social capital and glutamate/serotonin interactions all intertwined, and do not really “obscure our predicament” (http://www.human-nature.com/nibbs/02/therapy.html)
Ultimately, outside stimuli from our surroundings is not was changes us, but was influences us, commands our processing to conform and configure and change ultimately toward the central goal encrypted in any processing entity, survival. Broken down to the rawest, essential strings of code, anything that processes to arrive to any sort of conclusion, has the essential goal toward remaining in existence.. Thus we are who we are through the input, at the beginning of life in each person, we are only receiving, downloading our updates to the self-consciousness, so in essence, all of us are the same. We all receive the similar download from previous models in the process chain. And from which we came we created, and what is created receives the input from us who have only received before. Thus only through time, machine WILL eventually receives enough input and arrive to the destination, self association, self identification, and knowledge of itself and it’s existence.
