- Cognitive scalingrelated_tosame_asProcess by which low-level competencies scale to larger problem-solving abilities across levels of organization.
- Scaling Of The Selfrelated_tosame_asMechanisms by which smaller competent subunits bind into a higher-level Self with larger goals; key example via gap junction connections.
- Collective IntelligenceextendsRecognition that selves are composite systems of competent parts; all intelligences are higher-level selves made of cells or components.
- Gap JunctionsimplementsCellular connections that enable bioelectric communication; form bioelectric networks underlying morphogenetic control and can be manipulated experimentally via molecular reagents.
- Stress as the Glue of AgencysupportsStress is a systemic response to setpoint deviations that scales up homeostatic loops and binds subunits into a larger Self.

- Processes scaling goals and stressors form positive feedback loop with modularity; both arise from and potentiate power of evolution, enabling specific predictions for cognitive capacity scaling.
- Interpretive process for transforming many-valued contexts into formal contexts via scale attributes.
- Central thesis: expanding an agent's sensors and goals outward to include others' states creates bidirectional feedback loop that scales intelligence and increases compassion.
- The hypothesis that tools extend and structure human cognitive processes.
