• Self-Other Distinctionconcept0.800
  The implicit capacity the self-prior implements by assigning high density to familiar self-states and low density to non-self states
• We define Self-Other Overlap (SOO) as the extent to which a model exhibits similar internal representations when reasoning about itself and others in similar contexts.quote0.757
  Formal definition of the paper's central construct
• Individual who recognizes oneself as constantly co-constituted by interactions with others will develop prosocial qualitiesclaim0.756
• Can the same inferential architecture that supports self-awareness also support inference of others' mental states?question0.756
  Core open question motivating the future work direction of the paper
• Self as distributed and illusory enables extended identity and prosocial orientation toward others.claim0.749
• Neural self-other overlap in humans mediates empathy and inversely predicts deceptive behavior, motivating the SOO approach for AIclaim0.747
  Cross-domain analogical claim linking neuroscience findings to AI design
• Lanillos et al. 2020: Robot Self/Other Distinction (ECAI 2020)concept0.746

• Self-Other Boundaryconcept0.746
