  • neural cognitionconcept0.759
    Cognition in nervous systems, used as a modelling target
  • Cognitionconcept0.758
    Mental actions including sentience; can be achieved by different biological and non-biological substrates.
  • Somatic cognitionconcept0.734
    Cognition carried out by non-neural tissues, such as morphological problem-solving by cell collectives.
  • beyond cognitionconcept0.724
    Alexander's thesis that wholeness and the fifteen properties are objectively real, not artifacts of cognition, and are fundamental to physics and biology.
  • brainconcept0.713
    The conventional biological substrate assumed necessary for consciousness.
  • Basal Cognitionframework0.708
    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.
  • Embodied cognitionframework0.706
    Framework treating cognition as inseparable from bodily organization and environmental interaction; aligned with biogenic approach.
