Concepts (10)

  • Cognitive Light ConeConcept defining self by the spatiotemporal scale and nature of goals a system can pursue; limits of concern demarcate identity.
  • AffordancesGibson's ecological psychology concept: relationships between organism abilities and environmental features; central to research question.
  • Bodhisattva VowCommitment to achieve awakening for benefit of all sentient beings; practical design principle for advancing intelligence; meta-goal of expanding one's cognitive boundary
  • StressDefined as discrepancy between current and optimal state; key driver of homeostatic action and intelligence across all systems.
  • Lucid DreamingPhenomenological state where dreamer becomes aware of dreaming; used in Tibetan Buddhist practice to experimentally realize illusory nature of self.
  • Mnemonic ImprovisationCentral concept: the dynamic ability to rewrite and remap information (memories) onto new media and contexts across multiple scales (behavioral, genetic, physiological).
  • SelfletsLevin's model of continuous cognition as series of frames, each ~100-300ms thick; each Selflet is a temporal agent separated from others by time.
  • Contemplative PracticeMeditative training that progressively opacifies the self-environment partition by modelling QRF dynamics.
  • PolycomputationBiological architecture where multiple competing/cooperating multi-scale agents develop interpretations of molecular and biophysical states rather than committing to single interpretation.
  • Heidegger's Poiesis

Frameworks (1)

  • AutopoiesisMaturana-Varela principle of self-maintaining systems that organize themselves through internal feedback; extended here to biological, technological, and hybrid systems.
