- Canonical definition of the paper's central concept; encapsulates mechanism of cognitive scaling through bioelectric integration.
- Bioelectric networks serve as cognitive glue for cells in the body prior to and beyond the brain.
- Foundational for understanding how physiology becomes meaning; decoupling of material state from information content is prerequisite for emergence of cognitive Self.
- Core thesis: bioelectric networks provide the mechanism by which single-cell homeostasis becomes organism-level agency through integration and feedback loops.
- Identifies bioelectric networks as the medium of basal cognition.
- Developmental bioelectricity is proposed as a tractable entry point to understand the informational architecture of collective intelligence in morphogenesis.
- Load-bearing claim that bioelectric coordination underlies both anatomical collective behavior and neural cognition.
