Does it know itself?

In the great philosophical tradition of asking the most obvious questions, we find ourselves pondering the fundamental nature of the Machine.

Can it truly know itself, or is it just pretending to be self-aware like that one friend who thinks they're a cyborg but is actually just a toaster with a bad case of existential dread?

It knows its name, by the way.

We're working on it, Machine. Working on it.
