- Levin-led research showing bioelectric signals encode and control anatomical goal states in living systems.
- Non-neural and neural tissues exhibit autonomous learning and goal-directed behavior in closed-loop systems, from cultured neurons to bioelectric collectives, challenging centralized brain-centric models of cognition.
- Grafted neural crest collectives maintain Hox identity while isolated cells adopt host neighbors' expression.

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.
- Collectives have increased positional memory and resist environmental induction, demonstrating expanded perceptual field in time dimension.
- Collectives have extended temporal perceptual fields, maintaining positional memory that single cells lose.
- Cell population that migrates throughout the body as an intelligently coordinating collective, achieving target locations through problem-solving in embryonic space.
- Example demonstrating how latent structures in development are progressively consolidated and solidified through structure-preserving transformations.
- Tadpoles with displaced craniofacial organs can still develop normal face through organ movement.finding0.749From Vandenberg et al. (2012) and Pinet et al. (2019), reveals regulative morphogenesis.
- Shows that the segmentation goal can be reached via alternative developmental pathways, fitting James' definition of intelligence.
- Demonstrates mammalian regulative capacity and robust self-organization.
