Multiple Realizability
related_to
Philosophical framework asserting same function can be implemented by very different systems; key to arguing sentience is substrate-independent.
Supervenience
associated_with
Philosophical principle that higher-level properties are determined by lower-level properties; particles entail collective characters
Physical Church-Turing Thesis
associated_with
Stronger claim that any physical system's dynamics are Turing-simulable; underlies computational functionalism's substrate independence.

cosine ≥ 0.65 · no typed edge

Entities in the same semantic neighborhood but without a typed relation to this one — candidates for new edges or unrecognized duplicates.

Realnessconcept0.760
The representation of something currently being the case; a variable feature dimension of conscious contents distinguishing ideas from hallucinations of factuality
Adaptabilityconcept0.758
The capacity of materials and techniques to allow fine-tuning of dimensions and shape to each unique building condition; identified as the biggest issue in achieving living architecture.
Multi Informationconcept0.755
Multivariate information transmission (McGill 1954); a measure of total dependence among variables.
Multiple Viewsconcept0.754
Multiscale systemsconcept0.743
Systems prevalent in biology that can organize into complex patterns; architecture supports long-range coherence.
Practicalityconcept0.742
The directness of motivation by practical concerns, characteristic of living processes in the examples.
Feature Universalityconcept0.740
Property of features that form consistently across different models trained on the same or similar data, suggesting features are real representational units
Extensibility (Data and Procedural)concept0.736
Core design principle allowing new modules and data types to be added without modifying core; enabled by Oberon's type extension feature.
