Morphogenesis is not simply an emergent result of local rules but has complex, multi-scale feedback mechanisms that implement teleonomy and problem-solving.

• Morphogenesis is a goal-directed process, not a hardwired emergent clockwork.claim0.870
  Developmental systems reach invariant target morphology from diverse starting conditions, like a thermostat.
• Morphogenesis is an autonomous process in geometry itself, arising from physical phenomena and geometric dynamics with relatively little dependence on genetic guidance.claim0.864
  Claim supported by Goodwin's work, shifting emphasis away from DNA as sole morphogenetic driver toward form-generating principles inherent in spatial configuration.
• Morphogenesis is a result of collective activity where cells cooperate toward a specific, invariant target morphology, exhibiting goal-directedness.claim0.858
  Frames developmental biology as an instance of basal cognition.
• Morphogenesis is an instantiation of collective intelligence, exhibiting anatomical homeostasis and autonomous problem-solving in morphospace.claim0.856
  Reframes developmental biology as collective cognition.
• Morphogenesis can be viewed as the result of the behavior of swarm intelligence of cells.claim0.854
  Cells collectively solve anatomical problems, analogous to collective intelligence in social insects.
• Morphogenesis is trainable via reinforcement learning for specific morphological outcomes.hypothesis0.852
  If cells form a collective intelligence, they should be trainable by rewards/punishments.
• Morphogenesis operates through multiscale autopoietic processes in which every cell is simultaneously an environment for others, enabling coherent organism formation without predetermined configuration.finding0.850
• Morphogenesis guarantees that coherent wholes will form even while the piecemeal process allows each place to be unique.claim0.847
  Key property of morphogenetic process: it produces both unity and diversity simultaneously.
