Claims (4)
- Beings with brains are, in an important sense, also collective intelligences.Extends collective intelligence concept to conventional brains.
- Minds may have preceded brains in evolutionary history.Interpretive claim grounded in evidence from evolutionary biology and developmental bioelectricity.
- Some visual illusions that plague vertebrate nervous systems are recapitulated in collective intelligences such as ants.Suggests deep commonalities between neural and swarm cognitive processing.
- There is no clear bright line demarcating true cognition from metaphorical as-if cognition; cognition exists on a continuum.Core TAME claim rejecting binary categories; supported by evolutionary biology and recent bioengineering.
