Claims (6)
- Contextual constraints (top-down and bottom-up) replace efficient causation in explaining action.Foundational reframing that allows Juarrero to dissolve traditional puzzles like wayward causal chains.
- Frege compositionality requires bottom-up meaning flow from parts to whole, contrasting with context principle's top-down flow.Core assertion that Frege's principle embodies bottom-up composition, while his context principle embodies top-down meaning determination.
- Aliveness is a property of multi-scale coherence under transformation, not a property of substrate—making it substrate-neutral.
- Foundation-ness is precisely the degree to which learned representations remain coherent when the ground shifts; loss of coherence forces fallback to prior defaults.
- Multi-scale coherence may be the cause of aliveness, or only its signature—the causal direction remains open.
- Profit and degree-of-life are equivalent credit signals measuring how much an element contributes to global coherence.
Findings (2)
- Configuration coherence can be measured by counting locally symmetric sub-configurations; this measure shows strong agreement with cognition and perception experiments.Quantifiable measure linking structural properties of configurations to human perception, supporting the mathematical reality of wholeness.
- Stem base is sound, complete, and of minimal cardinality for implicational theory of a formal context.
