framework
- A conceptual framework for understanding cognition and intelligence across diverse substrates—including evolved biological systems, artificial systems, and bioengineered systems—using empirically-grounded, gradualist approaches. TTAME enables comparative analysis of mind-like phenomena regardless of the physical or biological substrate in which it emerges, facilitating cross-disciplinary study of unconventional intelligences.

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.
- No sharp boundary between true cognition and mere physics; continuous series of forms connects any cognitive system with humbler proto-cognitive ones via evolution and bioengineering.
- Open question regarding whether sudden enlightenment (Zen tradition) can be mathematically described as a phase transition.
- The theory of welfare that the sole good is the development and exercise of essential capacities (nature fulfilment).
- Interference with a person's autonomy for their own benefit.
- The hypothesis that physics defines a causally closed mechanistic lowest level of nature, and everything observable is coarse-grained patterns in this physical reality
- Epistemological position that what any phenomenon is is its causal/operational role; rejects hidden essence; foundational to CIMC's stance
- TAME's implication that sentience accompanies goal-directed activity, with minimal versions present in particles and scaling up in organized systems.
- Component of EI measuring how uniquely the current state determines the future state.
