Claims (6)
- Goal-directed activity as core of Self
- Self can be understood as distributed, distributable, and dynamic rather than singular and enduring.Core interpretive position synthesizing Buddhist and contemporary cognitive science views; foundational for hypothesis.
- Self-organisation can be viewed as a form of autopoietic cognition navigating problem spaces toward target morphologies.Linking self-organisation to cognition and navigation of configuration space
- The ability to pursue goals is the core of being a Self.Goal-directed activity is proposed as the central invariant for all Selves across substrates.
- The basic hallmarks of being a Self are the ability to pursue goals, to own compound memories, and to serve as the locus for credit assignment, at a scale larger than any component.Proposed operational definition of a Self within the TAME framework.
- A Self is operationally a temporary, dynamically changing center of gravity serving as functional owner of associations and subject of care across nested scales.
