- Evolved machines increasingly exhibit self-similar, hierarchical structure like living systems.supportsArtificially evolved neural networks and robots often lack modularity unless selected for, resembling life.

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.
- The extent to which a model exhibits similar internal representations when reasoning about itself and others in similar contexts
- The ability of reasoning LLMs to review and revise previous reasoning steps during inference
- Central phenomenon of the paper: systems that refer to themselves in ways problematic for conventional logic but constitutive of life.
- Process of reifying one's identity as an independent self; meditation practices aim to decrease selfing.
- Ability of a model to predict its own outputs or behavior, sometimes distinguished from introspection.
- Correlating attribution vectors (feature activation × logit weight of next token) across model pairs to measure functional universality
- The implicit capacity the self-prior implements by assigning high density to familiar self-states and low density to non-self states
- Mechanisms by which smaller competent subunits bind into a higher-level Self with larger goals; key example via gap junction connections.
