- Distinguishes TAME from panpsychist views; emphasizes role of organization.

- Central claim linking life's properties to the inherent competencies of its material substrate.
- A conceptual framework for understanding cognition and intelligence across diverse substrates—including evolved biological systems, artificial systems, and bioengineered systems—using empirically-grounded, gradualist approaches. TTAME enables comparative analysis of mind-like phenomena regardless of the physical or biological substrate in which it emerges, facilitating cross-disciplinary study of unconventional intelligences.
