The usefulness of AST is not limited to biological systems. A hypothetical conscious electronic system might also need AST to: (1) stabilize internal states more quickly during learning, (2) respond more quickly to input stimuli, (3) use internal predictive flows to 'simulate' inputs in order to learn from a reduced number of sensory-linked events.

It may not magically appear. It may, by design, be woven into the learning process.
