- Explains why biological naturalism is excluded from current indicator derivation while still being relevant to overall assessments
- Brain-based physical implementations of consciousness-related functions, assumed by many ToCs to be exclusive.
- The paper's characterization of living organisms' causal patterns as software — evolving, self-organizing, self-perpetuating, agentic — distinct from engineered code
- Core theoretical framework: consciousness requires hybrid (discrete + continuous), scale-inseparable, metabolically embedded computation distinct from von Neumann architecture.
- The perspective that values living systems and seeks to extend the idea of life to buildings and towns in harmony with nature, motivating the book’s inquiry.
- Searle and Seth's position that consciousness requires specific biological/autopoietic processes; explicitly rejected by CIMC on functionalist grounds
- Framework treating meaning-making as intrinsic to living systems; supports view of memories as interpreted signs requiring creative interpretation.
