- Field studying evolutionary origins of cognitive capacities in bacteria, slime moulds, plants, tissues; demonstrates sentience need not require high-order reflection.
- Claim that topologies, not material substrates, account for differing organisational abilities
- Anti-essentialism claim: questions like 'is it cognitive?' are scientifically unjustified; modern view must ask 'what kind' and 'how much'.
- Defines basal cognition, central to linking organismic and evolutionary individuality
