Cognitive Self as Plastic and MalleableThe subject of memories and preferences is not fixed but undergoes radical substrate remodeling during lifetime; demonstrated by metamorphosis, regeneration, and bioengineering examples.
Personality as Uncertainty Metabolization PatternsJohnson argues personality/phenomenology defined by how one metabolizes uncertainty through library of motifs for probing, digestion, and excretion.
Personality/phenomenology is defined by how one metabolizes uncertainty.Defines individual differences through uncertainty processing styles.
Robustness and plasticity in living systems
The plasticity of bodies and minds greatly potentiates evolvability.Multi-scale competency enables organisms to tolerate mutations and speed up evolutionary search.
The Self is malleable and plastic, changing radically during an organism's lifetime.
The Self is malleable and plastic; the subject of memories and preferences is not fixed but subject to radical change in real-time.Central to TAME; challenges monadic self theory through examples of metamorphosis, regeneration, and mind-body substitution.

Cognitive Plasticity in Response to Altered BodiesFinding that tadpoles with eyes on tails rather than heads readily perform visual learning tasks, demonstrating rapid cognitive adaptation.
