    Theoretical approach treating cognition and self as emergent from embodied interaction; foundational to the paper's 'selfless self' model.
  • Scale-Free Cognition
    implements
    Central hypothesis proposing that cognitive capacities scale across biological organization levels from cells to organisms via computational boundaries.

Claims (1)

claim
  • Cancer as loss of organizational self-boundary
    supports
    Levin proposes cancer cells become isolated from physiological signals that bind them into organ-level collectives, reverting to unicellular-scale goals, shrinking their computational self.

  • AI: a Bridge toward Diverse Intelligence and Humanity's Future
    cites
    The source paper under extraction — a philosophical essay by Michael Levin arguing that AI debates neglect deeper questions about diverse intelligence, developmental biology, and humanity's future
  • Bodhisattva Vow
    associated_with
    Commitment to achieve awakening for benefit of all sentient beings; practical design principle for advancing intelligence; meta-goal of expanding one's cognitive boundary
  • Allostatic set points
