- Biological Computationalismassociated_withCore theoretical framework: consciousness requires hybrid (discrete + continuous), scale-inseparable, metabolically embedded computation distinct from von Neumann architecture.
- Scale Inseparabilityassociated_withCentral tenet: biological computation is fundamentally non-modular; molecular, cellular, and population scales bidirectionally co-determine each other without privileged level.

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.
- Energy scarcity drives brain's computational architecture; multiscale integration emerges as metabolic optimization strategy; absent in current AI systems.
- Offers a potential technological path out of rigid bureaucracy, enabling a new organic form of organization.
- Authors' central interpretive assertion: genome specifies cell-level components but outcome is product of dynamics not easily predicted from genetic sequence.
- The process by which an organism exchanges material and energy with its environment, extracting negative entropy.
- Key reframing: contextual constraints (both bottom-up and top-down) replace mechanistic causation in explaining action.
- Established rules of typography, alignment, and page layout inherited from metal type that continue to structure composition and meaning-making.
- Discrete money and no-change payments limiting spending flexibility.
