- Salamander limbs regenerate missing parts precisely and stop when target morphology is reached, demonstrating goal-directed morphogenesis.
- From McCusker & Gardiner (2011), example of robust regenerative capacity.
- Biological example of anatomical homeostasis: amputated limb regrows and knows when to stop, demonstrating error-minimization and setpoint-seeking behavior.
- Evidence of neural plasticity; demonstrates mind's independence from specific body layout.
- Indicates that prior experience can alter morphogenetic capacity.
- Example of innate problem-solving capacity.
- Empirical evidence that memories persist through regeneration; challenges substrate-dependence of identity.
