Claims (6)
- A system's capacity for care constitutes its self in the absence of permanent substance or essence.Foundational to selfless-self model; self defined by scope and nature of goals pursued, not by enduring essence.
- Capacity for care constitutes self in absence of permanent substanceLevin and authors: self is defined by spatiotemporal scope and nature of goals pursued (cognitive light cone), not by immutable essence.
- Free will is not metaphysical indeterminism but the agent's capacity to maintain multiple attractors and resist lock-in.Reconciles freedom with dynamical determinism: agency preserved through robustness, stability, and creativity of far-from-equilibrium systems.
- No permanent or singular essences exist; agency is process not substanceFundamental state of affairs: 'agent' and 'changeless' are mutually exclusive; all candidates for agency (organic, mechanic, hybrid) must change to act.
- Selves are not fixed permanent agents; the substrate of memory, preferences, and rewards is plastic and can remodel during the agent's lifetime.Central claim that cognitive Selves change in real-time, supported by examples of metamorphosis and regeneration.
- Selves exist across a continuum of persuadability.A system's agency is determined by the most efficient intervention strategy (reward, punishment, argument).
