Claims (2)

Morphogenesis constitutes basal cognition because it requires information integration and coordinated action characteristic of problem-solving in anatomical morphospace.
Morphogenesis is an example of basal cognition, a collective intelligence of cells navigating morphospace.Asserts that developmental biology can be understood through the lens of problem-solving and cognitive concepts.
