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.
- Challenges mechanistic view of GRNs; suggests they occupy higher position on persuadability axis than previously assumed.
- Evidence that non-neural systems meet Crump's criterion #7; supports generalization of sentience criteria beyond neural substrates.
- Analysis of GRN models shows they can perform several kinds of learning, supporting the view of cellular networks as agents on a cognitive continuum.
- Recent models show GRNs can perform associative learning and pattern completion.
- Shows that systems can learn without presupposing system-level unit of selection
