Minds are patterns that ensoul somatic embodiments, of the same non-physical kind (but not degree) as patterns guiding simple physical structures

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

• The categorical distinction between physical agents (thinkers) and thought patterns can be dissolved: patterns themselves can be the agent, with the body as scratchpadclaim0.812
  Radical extension of diverse intelligence positing agency in non-physical patterns themselves.
• Minds are not tightly bound to specific architectures but readily mold to changes in genomic defaults and material substrate.claim0.809
  Central claim supporting TAME's framework: evidence of cognitive flexibility across diverse embodied systems.
• mindsconcept0.806
  Mental or cognitive entities that may or may not depend on brains.
• Beings with brains are, in an important sense, also collective intelligences.claim0.779
  Extends collective intelligence concept to conventional brains.
• Mind precedes and is a superset of life; 'living' things are simply very good at scaling up parts' lowly competencies into aligned collective intelligencesclaim0.778
  Reframes the traditional life/mind hierarchy, supporting panpsychist implications.
• Patterns capture knowledge beyond the individual.claim0.775
  Why technologists love Alexander; patterns as mechanism for sharing and reusing design knowledge.
• "There is no truly monadic, indivisible yet cognitive being: all known minds reside in physical systems composed of components of various complexity and active behavior."concept0.775
• Theory of Mind is a subset of cognitive abilities enabled by consciousness, not its equivalent; consciousness is a prerequisite for ToM, but ToM is not the entirety of consciousness.claim0.774
  Theoretical clarification distinguishing ToM from consciousness to frame the study's approach.
