• The living process can be steered by the extent to which it has deep feeling in it.claim0.822
• Felt states can be achieved in multiple ways and by many different biological substrates, analogous to how computation is multiply realizable.hypothesis0.821
  Foundational hypothesis bridging multiple realizability principle to consciousness; core argument for plant sentience possibility.
• It is quite possible that felt states can be achieved in multiple ways and by many different biological substrates.concept0.814
  Load-bearing quote summarizing the paper's core hypothesis about sentience substrate independence.
