- Levin-led research showing bioelectric signals encode and control anatomical goal states in living systems.
- Frames evolution as producing goal-directed, problem-solving agents across nested scales of individuality.
- Cells as goal-directed agents maintaining anatomical representations through gap-junction-mediated information integration; cancer as cognitive defection when collective Self boundaries collapse.

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.
- Intelligence is defined by navigating not just 3D space but also anatomical, gene expression, and physiological spaces.
- Predicts that cells can categorize perturbations and mount appropriate, not just hardwired, responses.
- Evolution pivoted the same problem-solving strategies across different domains.
- Derived from the planarian barium adaptation finding.
- Diverse spaces in which biological systems solve problems: physiological, metabolic, transcriptional, and anatomical; cells navigate these via adaptive behavior and information processing.
- Describes top-down control in morphogenesis.
- Cancer is a breakdown of the multiscale binding, leading cells to revert to unicellular goals.hypothesis0.773Gap junction closure makes cells selfish, shrink their cognitive boundary; restoring Vmem can normalize.
