- Developmental bioelectricity is proposed as a tractable entry point to understand the informational architecture of collective intelligence in morphogenesis.
- Testable prediction that insights from developmental bioelectricity can illuminate behavioral cognition and vice versa; grounds portability of neuroscience tools across tissue types.
- Evidence that pre-neural bioelectric infrastructure predates and likely precedes neurobiology; supports continuity of intelligence across substrates.
- Claim about the primacy of bioelectric morphogenesis.
- Core thesis: bioelectric networks provide the mechanism by which single-cell homeostasis becomes organism-level agency through integration and feedback loops.
- Framework in which stable voltage patterns in non-neural cells serve as re-writable memory guiding regenerative anatomy, demonstrating software/hardware distinction in biology
- Bioelectrical control of anatomy provided the computational architecture later adapted for behavior.
- Proposes an evolutionary trajectory linking morphogenesis to neural cognition.
