• Developmental bioelectricity is an ancient precursor to nervous systems, later exapted for fast behavioral control.claim0.849
  Posits deep evolutionary continuity between somatic pattern control and neural cognition.
• The bioelectric system is so versatile that it was readily exapted for behavior when nerve and muscle evolved, with a speed-up and focus on temporal signaling.claim0.840
  Explains the evolutionary pivot from morphospace to behavioral space.
• The evolution of nervous systems was built upon pre-neural bioelectric circuits.hypothesis0.834
  Bioelectrical control of anatomy provided the computational architecture later adapted for behavior.
• Biology's robustness, open-endedness, evolvability, and unique complexity likely depend on the fact that evolution works with an agential material.claim0.833
  Central claim linking life's properties to the inherent competencies of its material substrate.
• Developmental bioelectricity is the evolutionary precursor of neural processing, navigating anatomical morphospace before brains navigated 3D space.claim0.830
  Symmetry claim driving the evolutionary pivot model.
• Bioelectric networks discovered by evolution ~time of bacterial biofilms; served as ideal medium for scaling computation and information synthesis before neural systems.finding0.823
  Evidence that pre-neural bioelectric infrastructure predates and likely precedes neurobiology; supports continuity of intelligence across substrates.
• Developmental bioelectricity provides a tractable entrypoint into the informational architecture of the collective intelligence of morphogenesis.claim0.823
  Bioelectric patterns serve as re-writable pattern memories for anatomical homeostasis.
