- Hybrid Discrete-Continuous Computationassociated_withBrains perform simultaneous discrete operations (spikes) and continuous operations (graded potentials, fields) that co-determine each other; distinguishes biological from digital substrates.
- Scale Inseparabilityassociated_withCentral tenet: biological computation is fundamentally non-modular; molecular, cellular, and population scales bidirectionally co-determine each other without privileged level.
