Self reflection is a precondition for self awareness, which is a necessary condition for consciousness. A reflexive structure can be simply modeled as an object having a relation to itself. For example the notion of a fixed point is a typical reflexive structure. It is also closely related to recursion.


The paper on Stepping Beyond the Newtonian Paradigm in Biology[1], provides some modeling techniques to encode this kind of phenomenon.

An book that directly relates to the notion of self reflection is Richard Dawkins' The Selfish Gene[2].
