Proposition 4.2 establishes that no fixed self exists, yet the self that 'understands' this proposition appears to remain — a paradox Nāgārjuna addresses as śūnyatā-śūnyatā.

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

• The self can be considered both extendable and illusory in Buddhist thought.claim0.783
  Author assertion: rejection of singular self enables perception of distributed/dynamic selfhood; foundation for affordance augmentation hypothesis.
• Any system that persists must minimise surprisal, thereby gathering evidence for its own generative model, a process known as self-evidencing.claim0.775
  Foundational claim of the paper, defining self-evidencing.
• Self-inquiry and non-self are not contradictory—experience exists without a fixed experiencer.claim0.767
• The boundary between Self and World is not fixed and can change between generations and within a lifetime — this plasticity is fundamental to life's ability to survive, adapt, and exist as chimeric forms.claim0.767
  Core biological claim about the plasticity of self-models, grounding the broader philosophical argument about identity and change
• Self can be understood as distributed, distributable, and dynamic rather than singular and enduring.claim0.758
  Core interpretive position synthesizing Buddhist and contemporary cognitive science views; foundational for hypothesis.
• We may then arrive at a picture of the world which includes the self, and which clearly recognizes the personal nature of the universe.claim0.755
  The outcome of using both methods together.
• In each of us, a person is existing, or waiting to exist; the most free version of that person occasionally appears briefly.claim0.754
• Apparent paradoxes of self-reference are illusions produced by projecting a time-involving process into a timeless representation, and are resolved when natural time is made explicit.claim0.754
  Core theoretical move of the paper unwinding circular self-reference into a natural-time spiral.
