Claims (6)
- Compression stress is the ongoing cost of maintaining counterfactual aspects of experience.Explains suffering as the cost of holding alternatives to reality.
- Stress is a conserved, generic principle of biological organization scalable across levels (subcellular to multicellular).
- Stress is the perception of a state of affairs that requires concern, primarily associated with world/other rather than subject/self.
- Stress, as a systemic response to distance from setpoint states, serves as the glue of agency, binding subunits into higher Selves.Stress propagation through gap junctions recruits distant cells to act cooperatively.
- Systemic stress serves as the glue of agency, binding sub-agents into a larger Self by propagating unhappiness across modules.Explains how local homeostatic loops scale up to whole-body goals via shared stress signals.
- The scope of states that an agent can be stressed about defines its degree of cognitive capacity.Stress expands the spatial, temporal, and complexity scale of goals.
