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

• Care can function as a universal driver of intelligence itself: as AI broadens the range of suffering it seeks to address, it expands its cognitive boundaryclaim0.742
  Doctor et al. claim adopted by the paper linking boundless care to expanding AI cognitive scope
• Recognition of multiscale embodied intelligence naturally extends care ethics to all sentient beingsclaim0.732
  Once we acknowledge consciousness in non-verbal body parts, we must extend same care to other bodies; physiological continuity is artificial demarcation.
• Brethel-Haurwitz et al. 2018 - Extraordinary altruists exhibit enhanced self-other overlap in neural responses to distressconcept0.728
  Neuroscience finding linking extraordinary altruism to increased anterior insula SOO
• Neural self-other overlap in humans mediates empathy and inversely predicts deceptive behavior, motivating the SOO approach for AIclaim0.723
  Cross-domain analogical claim linking neuroscience findings to AI design
• Contingent properties like composition, origin, or similarity to human brains should not define ethical consideration for novel agents.claim0.717
  Ethics must be based on empirically-determined cognitive properties (goals, preferences, concerns) rather than parochial markers.
• What degree of concern and care should we exhibit toward the many diverse agents around us, and what criteria do we use to identify sentience, capacity for suffering, and other properties that have moral implications?question0.714
  Central question motivating the paper.
• Capacity for care constitutes self in absence of permanent substanceclaim0.713
  Levin and authors: self is defined by spatiotemporal scope and nature of goals pursued (cognitive light cone), not by immutable essence.
• Self as distributed and illusory enables extended identity and prosocial orientation toward others.claim0.712
