finding
- Empirical consequence of multiscale autopoiesis: bodies are multi-tissue assemblies with similar dynamics in organs as in brain.
Communities (2)
community
- All minds are composites of parts; individual and collective intelligence unified under substrate-neutral principles.
- All intelligences emerge from aligned sub-components; individual/collective distinction dissolves.
Concepts (1)
concept
- Recognition that selves are composite systems of competent parts; all intelligences are higher-level selves made of cells or components.
Claims (4)
claim
- Foundational claim dissolving distinction between individual and collective intelligence by recognizing brains as archetypal intelligent collectives.
- Central thesis operationalized via free-energy scaling; frames intelligence as alignment problem across multiple scales.
- Foundational claim positioning brains as archetypal intelligent collectives.
- Opening axiom of the paper, a fundamental interpretive stance
