cosine ≥ 0.65 · no typed edgeEntities in the same semantic neighborhood but without a typed relation to this one — candidates for new edges or unrecognized duplicates.
- Mental actions including sentience; can be achieved by different biological and non-biological substrates.
- Cognitive process spread across human and non-human agents; a goal of Pask’s and Friedman’s cybernetic diagrams.
- Alexander's thesis that wholeness and the fifteen properties are objectively real, not artifacts of cognition, and are fundamental to physics and biology.
- Domain used as a simplified case study to demonstrate how MAS examines specific types of causal information across different task-trained models.
- Cognition in nervous systems, used as a modelling target
- Framework treating cognition as inseparable from bodily organization and environmental interaction; aligned with biogenic approach.
- An interdisciplinary research framework that reconceptualizes intelligence as observer-relative problem-solving competencies existing on a continuum from simple to highly complex, extending cognition beyond neural systems to pre-neural and non-neural substrates including microbial control loops, plants, tissues, and cellular collectives. It grounds the study of evolutionary and developmental origins of cognitive and behavioral capacities by linking information processing at the chemical and cellular level to classical cognition, and provides philosophical foundations for understanding agency and goal-directedness in systems without nervous systems.
