- Rouleau & Levin's position: evaluation criteria should focus on observable response patterns without reference to the substrate producing them.
- Prescriptive claim that ignoring substrate will unify diverse fields.
- Core argumentative position: sentience assessment should focus on behavior, not substrate composition; extends to AI and robotic systems.
- A computational mechanism reused across multiple tasks without specialization to any one domain
