framework
  • Basal Cognition
    associated_with
    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.
  • Synthetic biotic constructs made from repurposed frog embryo skin cells that form self-motile robots with novel morphologies and behaviors including kinematic self-replication; demonstrate cellular competency beyond normal developmental constraints.

Concepts (2)

concept
  • Recognition that selves are composite systems of competent parts; all intelligences are higher-level selves made of cells or components.
  • Regulative Plasticity
    associated_with
    The ability of biological structures to adjust to perturbations (injury, internal modifications) and still accomplish adaptive tasks across multiple problem spaces.
