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.
- Framework treating cognitive processes as continuous dynamical phenomena rather than discrete computational steps; compatible with biogenic view.
- Core claim of biogenic approach: cognition is not unique to brains or nervous systems but emerges from living organization itself.
- Mental actions including sentience; can be achieved by different biological and non-biological substrates.
- Paper's key integration claim: Buddhism's emphasis on care and non-essentialism provides the conceptual lens needed for post-anthropocentric intelligence science.
- An interdisciplinary research framework that reconceptualizes intelligence as observer-relative problem-solving competencies existing on a continuum from simple to highly complex, extending cognition beyond neural systems to pre-neural and non-neural substrates including microbial control loops, plants, tissues, and cellular collectives. It grounds the study of evolutionary and developmental origins of cognitive and behavioral capacities by linking information processing at the chemical and cellular level to classical cognition, and provides philosophical foundations for understanding agency and goal-directedness in systems without nervous systems.
- Central argument that frameworks must go beyond natural species.
