Other communities that share members with this one — cross-cutting threads or papers that sit at the seam between two themes.
Claims (1)
- Minds are not tightly bound to specific architectures but readily mold to changes in genomic defaults and material substrate.Central claim supporting TAME's framework: evidence of cognitive flexibility across diverse embodied systems.
Findings (1)
- Physarum slime mold demonstrates learning and decision-making in absence of neurons, including crossing noxious chemical barriers for reward and problem-solving with inert objects.Empirical support for basal cognition hypothesis: cognitive capacities not limited to neural systems; cognition scales from unicellular organisms.
