The property of being a robot is not binary but a spectrum; the determinant is degree of autonomous control evidenced by the system.

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

• The functionalist denies the coherence of philosophical zombies: experience, insofar as it has any determinable character, is itself a functional propertyclaim0.751
  Core argument against essentialism: there is no property of consciousness over and above its functional manifestations
• TAME does not claim that mind is inevitably baked in regardless of physical implementation; causal structure and cybernetic properties are key determinants.claim0.737
  Distinguishes TAME from panpsychist views; emphasizes role of organization.
• Life is not a mechanical property but an inherent attribute of space itself, analogous to Maxwell's electromagnetic field creating light.claim0.736
  Proposition 1 of the Mid-Book Appendix; the most fundamental metaphysical claim of the theory.
• The embodied/disembodied distinction between robots and AI is collapsing.claim0.733
  Embodied AI, self-modeling robots, and 'life as it could be' blur the brain-body Cartesian divide.
• Consciousness is the ground of reality, not an emergent property, so artificial systems participate in it genuinely.claim0.731
• Physicality is not a requirement for a machine; a machine learning algorithm that generates other machine learning algorithms or designs robots qualifies as a machine.claim0.726
  Proposed definitional update removing physicality as a necessary condition for machines
• The fifteen properties are fundamental to the existence of wholeness and thus to all physical structures, not merely visual features of artifacts.claim0.726
  The chapter's central thesis, arguing that the properties are necessary manifestations of wholeness in any generated system.
• The fifteen properties are the very simplest things which can possibly be used as a basis for assembly of a living thing, and it is from simplicity that they ultimately derive.claim0.723
  Justification for using the fifteen transformations as a foundation.
