Regulatory feedback in organisms spans multiple levels of organization with no privileged level of causation.

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

• Organisms contain elements of both cascading control and recurrent control architectures.claim0.790
  Real organisms mix feed-forward and recurrent motifs.
• All organisms are collectives at multiple levels: from collections of active molecules in a cell, to collections of cells in a multicellular organism, to collections of tissues.claim0.786
  Extends the collective view to all biological individuals.
• An organism maintains its orderliness by continually extracting order from its environment, which it accomplishes by feeding on negative entropy.claim0.756
  Schrödinger's central claim about how life evades thermodynamic equilibrium.
• Many kinds of chemical pathways, not just cells or neurons, can exhibit six different types of learning, suggesting representational time is exploited broadly across living subsystems.hypothesis0.751
  Supports the gradualist view of representational time's emergence.
• Associative learning occurs in gene regulatory networks and other non-neural systems, making it substrate-independent.claim0.745
• The genome does not merely specify chemical structures to be assembled but also specifies complex patterns of interaction between molecular structures required to produce controlled behaviours of the individual organism.claim0.744
  An extension of the genetic code concept: it encodes developmental and behavioural control, not just static form.
• Most biological systems consist of multiple nested selves, not oneclaim0.744
  Levin critiques Integrated Information Theory's implication of singular unified self, arguing Scale-Free Cognition requires recognition of nested agents at each organizational level.
• It is always the whole which governs in a living process; even when only latent, the greater whole is the driving force controlling the shaping of parts.claim0.743
  Central principle distinguishing structure-preserving from structure-destroying processes.
