The number of coherent selves in an embryonic blastoderm is not fixed by genetics but can range from zero to several, arising from the physiological process demarcating cooperating subsystems.

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

• The number of embryos emerging from an embryonic blastoderm is not genetically fixed but determined in real-time by physiological processes.claim0.869
  Highlights dynamical determination of individuality through collective autopoiesis.
• "the number of embryos emerging from the excitable medium of an embryonic blastoderm is not genetically fixed but determined in real-time by physiological processes"quote0.838
  Key finding establishing that biological individuality is dynamically determined by collective coordination, not hardwired genetics.
• Most biological systems consist of multiple nested selves, not oneclaim0.797
  Levin critiques Integrated Information Theory's implication of singular unified self, arguing Scale-Free Cognition requires recognition of nested agents at each organizational level.
• How many individuals are present in an embryonic blastoderm?question0.795
  Questions the fixed-ness of individuality and points to the dynamical determination of embryo count.
• Stress-sharing embryos achieve perfect sequential target patterns; non-sharing limited to <1% improvement.finding0.793
  Stress-sharing embryos formed each sequential target with stress reducing to zero; non-sharing achieved only tiny improvements.
• In stress-sharing embryo, average stress reduced to zero at step 40 during sequential target morphogenesis; without-sharing stress settled at non-zero with <55 cells movingfinding0.785
  Shows stress sharing allows perfect formation of part-by-part target patterns.
• Selves can be nested and overlapping, cooperating and competing both laterally and across levels.claim0.779
  Key TAME claim that biological systems are patchworks of agents, with higher Selves deforming option spaces for lower ones.
• How many human Selves can be sustained by the excitable medium of a human brain?question0.767
  Parallels the embryonic blastoderm question to the human brain, linking developmental and cognitive science.
