I stepped on a bug today. Saw bug stepped on same, then I realized it was an ant. My intent was obvious but my consciousness since I had already stepped on the 'bug' before I processed it was an ant. Reconstructing it went a bit like this bug stomp then conscious it was bug, ant, and I had reflexively stomped on it. No thoughts up to point I determined what kind of bug it was after I had already stomped on it. So choosing, not really, conscious, not really, machine, absolutely, rationalization about what I had done, obviously after the fact even more after than usual when I believe I'm conscious.
Whole can of worms about intent depending on will and consciousness required at all blown away by simple act of stomping bug then realizing the whole event that had just occurred.
Only for those who want to contribute on why a machine would include consciousness, intent, and will. My thought, rationalization purposes. Why? We can articulate events and history.
