- Stress Sharingassociated_withCore concept: the hypothesis that cells can leak or export stress signals to neighbors, enabling collective coordination toward morphogenetic goals without explicit altruism.
- Embodimentassociated_withThe idea that intelligence requires a body to interact with the world; expands beyond physical 3D bodies to virtual and interface-mediated forms.
- Engramassociated_withPhysical/informational substrate of memory; reframed not as static encoded detail but as prompt requiring creative interpretation by receiving system.
