  Human-like intelligence in a machine is a contentious subject. Whether
mankind should or should not pursue the creation of artificial general
intelligence is hotly debated. As well, researchers have aligned in opposing
factions according to whether mankind can create it. For our purposes, we
assume mankind can and will do so. Thus, it becomes necessary to contemplate
how to do so in a safe and trusted manner -- enter the idea of boxing or
containment. As part of such thinking, we wonder how a phenomenology might be
detected given the operational constraints imposed by any potential containment
system. Accordingly, this work provides an analysis of existing measures of
phenomenology through qualia and extends those ideas into the context of a
contained artificial general intelligence.
