Collective intelligence & distributed cognition
members_of
All minds are composites of parts; individual and collective intelligence unified under substrate-neutral principles.
Substrate-independent cognition & consciousness
members_of
Gradualist, substrate-neutral frameworks extending cognition and sentience across biological and artificial networks.
Pan-cognitivism and distributed biological intelligence
members_of
Explores how cognition and intentionality emerge through self-organizing biological processes, shared between living and artificial systems.

Intelligence and cognition exist on a continuum; modern bioscience offers no support for clean bright-line distinctions between cognitive and non-cognitive beings.claim0.805
Anti-essentialism claim: questions like 'is it cognitive?' are scientifically unjustified; modern view must ask 'what kind' and 'how much'.
Consciousness in AI is best assessed by drawing on neuroscientific theories of consciousness.claim0.800
Central methodological claim of the paper.
Cognition and learning are substrate-independent; principles of basal cognition can be implemented by any network with signals and non-linear responses to weighted inputs.claim0.793
Core thesis that cognitive principles transcend neural substrates, enabling application to gene-regulatory, ecological, and social networks.
Cognition and learning are substrate-independent; principles familiar in artificial neural networks can be implemented by any network of signals with suitable weighted inputs.claim0.791
Central thesis enabling unification of neural, developmental, ecological, and social networks as instances of collective intelligence.
Natural and artificial intelligence can be unified through world models and life-mind continuity principles.claim0.790
