cosine ≥ 0.65 · no typed edgeEntities in the same semantic neighborhood but without a typed relation to this one — candidates for new edges or unrecognized duplicates.
- The illusion that the page is a bounded, limited space, contradicted by associative infinitude.
- Grounds textual association in memory and chance, not fixed links.
- Connections made across texts by recollection, probability, and spatial proximity, not linear sequence.
- The observation that listing goals or needs always leads to an endless chain of reasons, making mechanistic functional analysis arbitrary.
- Encapsulates Piumarta's core unifying thesis about the generality and power of the associative primitive.
- Integration and collective action (basal cognition) mechanisms enact the functional relationships necessary for new individuality.hypothesis0.711Proposes biological mechanisms implementing non-decomposable functions in developmental individuality.
