cosine ≥ 0.65 · no typed edgeEntities in the same semantic neighborhood but without a typed relation to this one — candidates for new edges or unrecognized duplicates.
- Core argumentative position: sentience assessment should focus on behavior, not substrate composition; extends to AI and robotic systems.
- Evaluation criteria for sentience based solely on observable response patterns, independent of substrate.
- Rouleau & Levin's position: evaluation criteria should focus on observable response patterns without reference to the substrate producing them.
- Extension of the Universality Hypothesis to consciousness: if consciousness solves a well-defined computational problem, different systems will discover it independently
