claim

Cognition as a biological process inherent to all living systems
supports
Core claim of biogenic approach: cognition is not unique to brains or nervous systems but emerges from living organization itself.

cosine ≥ 0.65 · no typed edge

Entities in the same semantic neighborhood but without a typed relation to this one — candidates for new edges or unrecognized duplicates.

Rosen's (M,R) Systems / Anticipatory Systemsframework0.833
A theoretical framework for systems that anticipate and act on future states, mentioned as complementary.
systemsconcept0.736
Represented by wires in process theory; the objects that processes act upon
Complex Adaptive Systemsframework0.726
Theory by John Holland studying general conditions under which adaptation can occur.
systemconcept0.723
The regulated entity or process; includes air traffic, endocrine balances, money flows.
anticipationconcept0.722
Reorienting in expectation of reinforcements; a cognitive quality in plants.
system as a wholeconcept0.721
Alexander’s term for a system of interactive forces; a parallel to the interpretation of form as a diagram of forces.
System of Patterns as a Wholeconcept0.715
The requirement that a pattern language must emanate as a whole from a situation and form a coherent complete system, not just a list of isolated solutions
open systemsconcept0.715
Computational systems that interact with an environment; seen as the natural object of information dynamics.
