claim

concept

Self-organisation
related_to
Phenomenon of spontaneous long-range order emerging from local interactions; central phenomenon explained by topological constraints
Self-Organizing System
related_to
Systems whose structure emerges from internal communication patterns rather than external design; the paper proposes consciousness as arising in such systems
Collective Intelligence
associated_with
Recognition that selves are composite systems of competent parts; all intelligences are higher-level selves made of cells or components.

hypothesis

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.

Selfingconcept0.836
Process of reifying one's identity as an independent self; meditation practices aim to decrease selfing.
Biological Self-Organizationconcept0.835
Central phenomenon: emergence of life-like organization (boundaries, inference, homeostasis) from coupled random dynamics.
Self Regulationconcept0.802
Self-organisation can be viewed as a form of autopoietic cognition navigating problem spaces toward target morphologies.claim0.799
Linking self-organisation to cognition and navigation of configuration space
Self-organized criticalityconcept0.799
Bak's framework describing complex systems that spontaneously organize toward critical states; applicable to living organization.
Selfless Selfconcept0.793
Model of agency in which self is constituted by dynamical patterns of care and goal-pursuit rather than permanent substance or essence.
Selfing Processconcept0.793
Guided self-assemblyframework0.790
Approach of nudging components with agendas to achieve desired outcomes rather than micromanaging.
