Claims (9)
- Life requires only a boundary (Markov blanket), ergodicity, active inference capacity, and autopoiesis—not reproduction or DNA.Reframes definition of life focusing on dynamical self-organization rather than genetic reproduction.
- A healthy agent ecology has a smooth trust gradient between user and agents, not a binary on/off.
- A healthy agent ecology has rhythm—automated steps alternating with deferral and action alternating with review.
- A robust agent ecology requires both automated-aligned action and explicit deferral—contrast between these regimes is essential.
- Anton's distinctive contribution would be care-centered and agent-ecology-centered, differentiating from Stefan Lesser's Alexander-software work.
- Defining 'life' for agent ecologies requires explicit claim about adaptive responsiveness, compositional richness, or stewardship affordance.
- Not-Separateness and Strong Centers can coexist in agent ecology, though this transfers from Alexander only by empirical test.
- Not-Separateness connects individual response aliveness to multi-agent ecology and dependent origination.
- Not-Separateness in agent ecology means skills connect to user project, other skills, user history, and world data.
