I do not have any even remotely practical definition for this, but this has to somehow involve the system being in a closed loop. It has to "run" in a sense that an operating system runs. Even if there is nothing coming on certain inputs it still has to run. And probably hallucinate (hehe) like humans do in an absence of a signal or infer patterns where there are none, yet be able to self-reflect that it is in fact a hallucination
