A sufficiently deep generative model may recognize that its own homeostatic regulation is embedded in a broader ecological and social network, naturally leading to boundless care

Entities in the same semantic neighborhood but without a typed relation to this one — candidates for new edges or unrecognized duplicates.

• A system’s capacity for care—its concern for the alleviation of homeostatic stress—can be seen as constituting its self in the absence of any permanent substance or essence.claim0.781
  Re-defines self in terms of care dynamics.
• Generative models are entailed by adaptive behavior, not explicitly encoded in brain statesclaim0.781
  Distinction from Bayesian brain: generative model is consequence of dynamics, not neural representation
• There is no principled continuum of ethical concern that scales from simple homeostatic agents to complex metacognitive beings, allowing rational allocation of moral statusquestion0.776
  Central gap that Diverse Intelligence is proposed to fill
• Bioelectric networks scale cell computation into anatomical homeostasis and are a mechanism for evolving larger Selves.claim0.770
  Developmental bioelectricity is proposed as a tractable entry point to understand the informational architecture of collective intelligence in morphogenesis.
• Any system that persists must minimise surprisal, thereby gathering evidence for its own generative model, a process known as self-evidencing.claim0.766
  Foundational claim of the paper, defining self-evidencing.
• The recognition of agency outside oneself and the progressive inclusion of their states in one's own homeostatic stress-reduction loops is a bidirectional feedback loop that leads to the scaling of intelligence and increases in practical compassion.claim0.765
  Describes the mechanism linking compassion and intelligence.
• Any system that persists must minimise surprisal, thereby gathering evidence for its own generative model.quote0.763
  Opening sentence defining self-evidencing.
• A realization of our own multiscale, nested architecture naturally leads to the conclusion that care needs to be extended to all sentient beings.claim0.759
  Extends ethical concern based on the collective nature of selves.
