  • All possible agents beyond natural biological species, including engineered and alien ones.
  • Sentient Beingsconcept0.804
    All beings capable of suffering; the scope of care is argued to extend to all such beings regardless of substrate.
  • Vast option space of designed and evolved combinations of living, non-living, and software components at all scales; future diverse intelligences will be chimeric mixes far beyond natural phylogeny.
  • The enormous option space of forthcoming beings with diverse embodiments of sentience beyond standard Homo sapiens
  • Sentienceconcept0.768
    Central concept: the capacity to experience as a subject; core focus of the paper's argument about multiple substrates.
  • The vast space of possible living forms beyond those evolved on Earth.
  • Paper arguing sentience can be realized in many substrates, directly relevant to the diverse intelligence argument
  • Alexander's ontological claim that space itself becomes progressively more alive depending on the recursive structures built within it
