Systemic stress serves as the glue of agency, binding sub-agents into a larger Self by propagating unhappiness across modules.

• Stress, as a systemic response to distance from setpoint states, serves as the glue of agency, binding subunits into higher Selves.claim0.897
  Stress propagation through gap junctions recruits distant cells to act cooperatively.
• Stress as the Glue of Agencyconcept0.852
  Stress is a systemic response to setpoint deviations that scales up homeostatic loops and binds subunits into a larger Self.
• Stress sharing works to increase cohesiveness of collectives by raising exploratory plasticity in neighboring cells, enabling long-distance cell influencehypothesis0.812
• Stress is a good candidate for a central invariant across active agents of diverse scale and composition.claim0.810
  Broad interdisciplinary claim from the work.
• Stress is a conserved, generic principle of biological organization scalable across levels (subcellular to multicellular).claim0.802
• Stress sharing is an easy way to achieve robustness in collectives made up of homeostatic subunits.claim0.801
  Generalization of the model's implications.
• Stress sharing works to increase cohesiveness of collectives.claim0.799
  Interpretation of why stress sharing improves morphogenesis.
• Stress sharing serves as a 'cognitive glue' for collective intelligences, enabling cooperation without explicit altruism by de-localizing incentive to work toward group goalsclaim0.794
