The increased use of evolutionary dynamics by engineers makes it impossible to use evolved vs. designed as a clear demarcation between two classes of beings.

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

• Evolved vs. designed origin is not a definitive guide to agency; rationally engineered systems can be true cognitive agents.claim0.797
  Rejects the notion that only evolutionary history confers intrinsic motivation or 'true' cognition.
• Evolution re-uses many of the same mechanisms and strategies across scales of organization and problem spaces.claim0.795
  Claims that scale-free dynamics, like bioelectric networks, are ancient and conserved.
• Evolution often produces general-purpose problem-solving machines whose capacities cannot be inferred from the default invariant course of development.claim0.793
  A claim about the outcome of the MCA-enhanced process.
• Evolutionary dynamicsconcept0.780
  The change in genotype/phenotype frequencies over generations under selection, mutation, and development.
• Evolution was using developmental bioelectricity long before neurons and muscles appeared, to solve the problem of creating and repairing complex bodies.claim0.780
  Claim about the primacy of bioelectric morphogenesis.
• Biology's robustness, open-endedness, evolvability, and unique complexity likely depend on the fact that evolution works with an agential material.claim0.773
  Central claim linking life's properties to the inherent competencies of its material substrate.
• Evolution places little emphasis on veridical perception.claim0.769
  Claim from Hoffman, endorsed by Levin.
• Evolution makes problem-solving agents, not solutions; commitment to mutation and uncontrollable environments as ratchet for intelligenceclaim0.765
