claim:cognition-and-learning-are-substrate-independent-principles-of-basal-cognition-can-be-implemented-by-any-network-with-signals-and-non-linear-responses-to-weighted-inputsCognition and learning are substrate-independent; principles of basal cognition can be implemented by any network with signals and non-linear responses to weighted inputs.
Core thesis that cognitive principles transcend neural substrates, enabling application to gene-regulatory, ecological, and social networks.
