- From DeMarse et al. (2001) and Bakkum et al. (2007), demonstrating learning in hybrid systems.
- MEART created drawings with neural control and showed learning when training stimulus was updated.supportsFrom Bakkum et al. (2007b), demonstrates closed-loop learning in a hybrot.

- 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.
- Explores how cognitive processes emerge at multiple levels—from neural to collective—without sharp boundaries, examining parallels in perception and decision-making across individuals and groups.
