I would say all my work is about that. You can interpret Godel's
theorem, or more exactly the fact that machine can prove their own
provability logic, and even guess correctly the true but non provable
part, as a general statement of self-awareness. Sometimes,
self-awareness is defined more precisely by the "4" modal formula: Bp
-> BBp. This is a theorem for PA, but not for LRA.
When LRA proves p, then soon or later, if not already, LRA will prove
Bp (that is LRA will prove that she prove p). So Bp -> BBp is true for
LRA, but only PA can prove such a proposition on itself.

The principle is really the same. That is what I show in my paper
"amoeba, planaria, and dreaming machine". self-reproduction and
self-awareness are a consequence of the closure of the set of partial
computable function for the daigonalization procedure.
