Claims (3)
- Consciousness likely distributed across multiscale body components, not localized to brainOrgans and tissues employ identical mechanisms as brain; lack of direct verbal report does not negate consciousness in body components.
- Recognition of multiscale embodied intelligence naturally extends care ethics to all sentient beingsOnce we acknowledge consciousness in non-verbal body parts, we must extend same care to other bodies; physiological continuity is artificial demarcation.
- Understanding no-self can catalyst ethical intelligence and universal care
Findings (1)
- All intelligences are collective intelligences (higher-level selves composed of competent parts); implies distributed consciousnessEmpirical consequence of multiscale autopoiesis: bodies are multi-tissue assemblies with similar dynamics in organs as in brain.
