community:leiden_hybrid_concepts-run4-c7-c1Geometric goal-alignment in multi-scale systems
Framework treating teleonomic behavior and goal-directedness as geometric alignment problems across anatomical, physiological, and representational spaces; emphasizes intervention via internal geometry rather than external direction.

Claims (9)
- Geometry in neural representation is not merely incidental, but is in fact the proper object for enabling principled control via intervention on internals.Core interpretive assertion: geometric structure is causally load-bearing, not epiphenomenal.
- Intelligence as Capacity for Goal-Directed Activity in Problem Space
- Navigation of problem spaces requires parts to align with system-level goals.Motivation for studying self-organization: understanding dynamics that facilitate or limit alignment across multiple scales.
- Teleonomic behavior in diverse problem spaces is a powerful invariant across possible beings regardless of composition or origin.Central claim proposing teleonomy as a unifying parameter.
- Teleonomy is at the core of reliability, which enables a searchable, continuous fitness space.Links goal-directedness to evolvability.
- The core problem of steering should be recast from finding the right direction to finding the right geometryThe paper's programmatic conclusion about how the field should reconceptualize neural network steering
- The deep symmetry between problem-solving in anatomical, physiological, transcriptional, and 3D spaces drives specific hypotheses.Evolution pivoted the same problem-solving strategies across different domains.
- Understanding the dynamics that facilitate or limit navigation of problem spaces by aligned parts impacts many fields ranging across life sciences and engineering.Claim about broad impact of studying these dynamics
- Vascular system motifs are the means by which we manipulate sensations.Theravada Buddhism mapping: vascular system as the physical basis of tanha-driven sensation manipulation.
