Empirical consequence of multiscale autopoiesis: bodies are multi-tissue assemblies with similar dynamics in organs as in brain.

Claims (2)
claim
- Core interpretive thesis of the paper.
- Organs and tissues employ identical mechanisms as brain; lack of direct verbal report does not negate consciousness in body components.
Communities (3)
community
- All minds are composites of parts; individual and collective intelligence unified under substrate-neutral principles.
- All intelligences emerge from aligned sub-components; individual/collective distinction dissolves.
- Framework treating consciousness as emergent from hierarchical body components rather than brain-localized, grounding universal care ethics in non-self recognition across scales.
