World models provide a bridge between diverse substrates of intelligence—biological, artificial, and hybrid.

Synthetic claim integrating Ha's work with Levin's xenobiology and Tenenbaum's cognitive modeling.

Collective intelligence & distributed cognition
members_of
All minds are composites of parts; individual and collective intelligence unified under substrate-neutral principles.
Substrate-independent cognition & consciousness
members_of
Gradualist, substrate-neutral frameworks extending cognition and sentience across biological and artificial networks.
Substrate-independent intelligence and morphological cognition
members_of
Explores how world models and cognitive processes transcend biological/artificial distinctions, challenging anthropocentric assumptions about consciousness and agency.
