Can you show me an example of application of ConsScale?

This is an example of a cognitive architecture implementation rated using ConsScale: 

Name of Implementation: CERA-CRANIUM UT2004 Adaptive-Bot v3.4.
Description: Unreal Tournament 2004 autonomous bot implemented using the CERA-CRANIUM cognitive architecture.
Architectural Components: B, Sproprio, Sext, A, R, M (see here for a description).
Cognitive Skills: CS2,1; CS3,1; CS3,2; CS4,1; CS4,2; CS4,3; CS4,4; CS4,5; CS4,10; CS5,2; CS5,4 (see here for a description)
ConsScale Cognitive Profile:  ConsScale Cognitive Profile Example
CQS Graph: ConsScale Level 3 CQS
CQS Value: 2.69
ConsScale Level: LEVEL 3 (ADAPTIVE)
Comments:

Although the implementation complies with some features of levels 4 and 5 it is rated as level 3. ConsScale requires the fulfilment of all cognitive skills of level i and also all lower levels in order to qualify as level i.

CQS for a pure level 3 agent is 2.22. The score of this agent (2.69) indicates that some additional features are in place. However, it is far from a level 4 agent who will score 12.21 or more. This can also be noticed in the radar graph, as L4 axis has a short spike (while L2 and L3 axes display full length lines).

Immortal avatars: Back up your brain, never die

New Scientist 2763

New Scientist. 05 June 2010. Cover Story. pp. 28-31.

The topic of mind uploading is addressed in the cover story of this New Scientist issue. ConsScale is quoted as an practical tool to really assess to what extent artificial avatars can be considered as conscious as ourselves.
