Embodiment does not require a canonical physical body moving through 3-dimensional space — agents can be embodied in metabolic, gene-expression, or anatomical morphospaces.

Entities in the same semantic neighborhood but without a typed relation to this one — candidates for new edges or unrecognized duplicates.

• Morphogenesis constitutes basal cognition because it requires information integration and coordinated action characteristic of problem-solving in anatomical morphospace.claim0.781
• Life requires only a boundary (Markov blanket), ergodicity, active inference capacity, and autopoiesis—not reproduction or DNA.claim0.775
  Reframes definition of life focusing on dynamical self-organization rather than genetic reproduction.
• Living processes are by nature morphogenetic; they are aimed at creating positive space and making form coherent.claim0.775
  Core definition of living process as intentionally form-creating, in contrast to fragmented modern processes.
• "biological morphogenesis is not well-described by bottom-up, open-loop, mechanical models, but instead exhibits more complex policies as it navigates the space of possible anatomical shapes despite various perturbations"concept0.774
• Morphogenesis guarantees that coherent wholes will form even while the piecemeal process allows each place to be unique.claim0.773
  Key property of morphogenetic process: it produces both unity and diversity simultaneously.
• Non-neural morphogenetic agents satisfy most sentience criteria via electrically active cells rather than neuronsfinding0.768
  Empirical basis for expanding sentience frameworks; shows Crump criteria adaptable beyond traditional neurocentric definitions.
• The larger task of making these processes genuinely morphogenetic so that they generate deeper and more coherent living structure—still lies on the horizon.claim0.768
• When living processes are applied systematically to the public space in a human community, they will generate a system of articulated, useful, coherent, and mainly pedestrian spaces.claim0.764
  Core claim about the generative power of living process on public space.
